Nino Sangiovese IGT Toscana Folonari: elegant red with a Tuscan character

Nino Sangiovese IGT Toscana by Tenute Folonari is a red wine that stylishly and identifiably interprets the Chianti Classico territory, combining tradition, personality, and winemaking care. It is made from a blend of Sangiovese 95% and Colorino 5%, a combination that enhances the fruit, freshness, and a rounder, more harmonious texture. It is a wine designed for those seeking a recognizable, elegant Tuscan red suitable for important occasions.

Territory and wine style

This IGT Toscana red wine directly evokes the soul of the territory between Greve and Panzano, an area historically suited for Sangiovese and the production of reds with a strong territorial imprint. The choice of Colorino adds a touch of chromatic depth and a slightly greater structure, without distorting the classic profile of the main grape variety. The result is a balanced style, with a familiar and refined imprint, capable of combining Tuscan typicity with smooth drinkability.

Tasting notes

In the glass, Nino Sangiovese IGT Toscana displays an intense and bright red color. On the nose, it expresses aromas of black cherry, ripe red fruits, currant, bay leaf, and balsamic nuances, accompanied by spicy notes of juniper and cardamom. The palate is enveloping yet dynamic, with good sapidity, fine tannins, and a crunchy character that supports the drink. The finish is harmonious, persistent, and refreshing, with an overall elegant and never excessive profile.

Recommended pairings

Thanks to its balance between structure, freshness, and tannic finesse, Nino Sangiovese IGT Toscana pairs well with flavorful traditional Italian first courses, such as pici with ragù, pappardelle with wild boar, or baked lasagna. It is also ideal with roasted red meats, braised dishes, grilled fillet, noble poultry, and preparations with mushrooms or aromatic herbs. Its elegance makes it enjoyable even with medium-intensity aged cheeses.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Nino Sangiovese IGT Toscana, a serving temperature between 16 and 18°C is recommended. If the wine has been stored in a cool environment or appears particularly closed, a brief aeration in the glass can help open up the aromas. A long decanting is not necessary, except for personal preferences or service in particular conditions.
