Description
Cabreo il Borgo IGT Toscana 2018 in 5-liter format
Cabreo il Borgo IGT Toscana 2018 is a red wine of great personality crafted by Tenute Folonari, an expression of the Chianti tradition in an elegant and contemporary key. The 5-liter format in a wooden case makes it a scenic and prestigious proposal, ideal for those looking to buy wine online with an important cut, perfect for special dinners, collections, or representative gifts.
Territory and style of the wine
This wine is born from the vineyards of the Tenute del Cabreo located on the hills of Greve in Chianti, a historic area of Tuscany that offers balance, identity, and finesse. The cuvée combines Sangiovese at 70% and Cabernet Sauvignon at 30%, blending the territorial character of the region's emblematic grape with an international contribution that enhances its structure and depth. The altitude of about 300 meters helps maintain freshness and aromatic definition, while the overall style focuses on harmony, personality, and elegance.
Tasting notes
Cabreo il Borgo presents itself as a complex and charming red, with a profile that highlights fresh and crunchy fruit. On the nose, articulated and refined nuances emerge, while the sip is enveloping, silky, and of long persistence. The tannic component is present but well integrated, supported by a balanced taste structure and good freshness that accompanies the finish. Aging in French oak contributes to depth and lift, without weighing down the fruity imprint of the wine.
Recommended pairings
It is a wine for important courses, suitable for structured and flavorful dishes. It pairs well with roasted or stewed red meats, game, baked preparations, and aged cheeses. Its gastronomic vocation makes it particularly interesting with recipes from Tuscan cuisine, but it can also accompany a stuffed guinea fowl, mushrooms, porcini, and berries in pairings with rich and harmonious flavors.
Serving temperature
The ideal temperature for Cabreo il Borgo IGT Toscana 2018 is between 16 and 18°C. If opened in advance, it can express itself at its best, especially in a large format like the 5 liters, which benefits from a little time to open up in the glass and show all the complexity of the bouquet.
Why buy it
Choosing Cabreo il Borgo IGT Toscana 2018 means opting for an authoritative, elegant Tuscan red with a strong territorial identity. The amplified collection magnum format makes this wine an impactful choice for events, anniversaries, and important occasions. It combines pleasantness, longevity, and scenic value, offering a bottle capable of standing out for style and prestige.
