About this wine
From the historic TorCalvano estate purchased by the Folonari family in 1994 (previously bottled as Lodola Nuova under the Ruffino brand until 2000), this Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is made mainly from Sangiovese in its local 'Prugnolo Gentile' biotype. It ages 24 months total — 12 in steel and 12 in oak — before further bottle refinement.
A herbal, structured Sangiovese from Montepulciano that's a great alternative for Chianti Classico fans wanting something new.
