It is then aged for 7 months in stainless steel but also in old oak barrels. This wine is then refined for at least 3 months in the bottle.

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. They first invested in the estates and then concentrated on the production of quality, elegant wines with character and strongly linked to the territory.
Thus, innovation, creativity, research and respect for diversity are the founding values of this family whose history spans several generations.
