Toscana Bianco IGT Cabreo La Pietra 2022 Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari

Cabreo La Pietra comes from the vineyards of the Tenute del Cabreo, within the municipality of Greve in Chianti. Originally created in 1983, it is the result of a fermentation and ageing process in wood, which characterize it as the Tuscan interpretation of a highly successful type of international white wine.

Produced with Chardonnay grapes, it was born following the grape harvest in mid-September, followed by a soft pressing. After cold decanting for 24 hours, the alcoholic fermentation phase begins in French oak barrels, half new and half of the previous year, lasting 15–20 days. The malolactic fermentation continues inside the same barriques, until the ageing phase for 12 months in oak barriques, with bâtonnage technique, or with the movement of fine lees and yeasts deposited on the bottom.

Characterized by a bright golden yellow colour, Cabreo La Pietra by Folonari has a rich and intense olfactory bouquet. The spicy hints, which bring to mind the aroma of vanilla, are pleasantly combined with the notes of butter and peach compote. On the palate it is velvety, harmonious and complex, distinguishing itself as a lucky combination of the elegance and delicacy typical of white wines and the strength and character of the reds.

Ideal to be served with white meat dishes, it is excellent with fish and shellfish courses and with vegetable based first courses.
