In the latter part of 2000, the Folonari family redefined its company structure. Previously a single entity with extensive estate holdings in Tuscany and particularly in the commune of Greve in the Chianti zone, the family was owner of the Nozzole and Ruffino brands as well as it's own. Dr. Ambrogio Folonari and his son, Giovanni Folonari, now own and manage five previously existing estates as well as five recently acquired ones, in Tuscany and elsewhere. Prior to the restructuring of the family holdings, two of the existing estates in the Greve district contributed to bottlings under the Ruffino brand. The Fattoria di Zano, purchased in 1967, is graced by a lovely villa and chapel overlooking the village of Greve from the crest of a steep hillside. This estate has been the source of grapes for the super Tuscan wine Cabreo Il Borgo, a blend of 70 percent Sangiovese and 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon produced from highly selected grapes first released in 1985 with the 1982 vintage. The Casa di Sala, near Panzano south of Greve, first came into production under lease in 1980 and was later purchased. Highly selected fruit from this estate yields Cabreo La Pietra, an elegant, barrique-fermented Chardonnay. Both Cabreo Il Borgo and Cabreo La Pietra were conceived of as IGT, or "Indicazione Geografica Tipica," wines for two reasons: first, to express the innovation and creativity of contemporary Tuscan winemaking; and second, to exploit the enormous potential of Tuscany's soils and local traditions of producing excellent quality wines. Vintages released to date have been highly acclaimed and have placed both wines among the ranks of sought-after, new-wave Tuscan wines. The term "cabreo" refers to old, hand-drawn Tuscan maps; "borgo" to a small village or collection of houses. The Zano and Casa di Sala properties are together referred to as the "Tenute del Cabreo," and together support 125 acres of vines from which the wines are completely estate produced. |
