Producer
In the year 2000, Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari then founded the company Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute. This is made up of five estates in the areas of excellence of Tuscany, which are thus best suited to the production of wine. Ambrogio and Giovanni then pursue an important project to revalorize the territory and its diversity.
