Cabreo Il Borgo | Tenute Folonari

The Wine

Cabreo is one of the first sensory expressions that characterised the “taste turning point” of Tuscan wine in the early 1980s.
Particularly suitable for long aging, this wine reflects 40 years of Italian winemaking history through a style that has remained unchanged over time.
With the 2022 vintage Cabreo celebrates 40 years since its first harvest, 1982. One of the first Supertuscans launched on the market in the 1980s, continues to mark time four decades later.
Vintage: in the glass it is between ruby and red-purple, great synergy between secondary aromas of fruit and tertiary aromas of wood. Floral, fruity and spicy descriptors between old red rose, morello cherry, incense. In the mouth it is harmonious, with never aggressive tannins, velvety, rich in chocolate, tobacco, vanilla, hints of toasted wood in the aftertaste.
