Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari

The Folonari family has been linked to the wine world for over 2 centuries. Starting with the forefather Lorenzo Folonari, who moved to Val Camonica with his family, generations of entrepreneurs dedicated to the trade and production of wine followed one another. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the brothers Italo and Francesco Folonari moved the company headquarters from Val Camonica to Brescia and later also acquired the Ruffino winery in Tuscany. The brothers' goal was to become producers and distributors of the prized Chianti Classico, both in Italy and abroad. After the Second World War and the profound changes that this brought to Italy in terms of economic growth, the Folonari family acquired the Tenuta di Nozzole and del Cabreo, located in Greve in Chianti, starting to produce new high quality wines. 2000 saw the birth of Tenute Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari, five owned estates distributed in the areas with the highest wine-growing vocation in Tuscany. Thanks to research, creativity and investment in innovation, the Folonari name is still associated with quality wines, with character and elegance.
