My Vineyards: Home to the Cabreo Legacy
About this book
The narrative of Ambrogio Folonari goes beyond that of a passionate individual or a dynamic entrepreneur in the wine industry. It is, in essence, a first-person account intricately linked with the historical, social, and economic events of an entire nation, mirroring the destiny of wine in Italy. Acknowledged as the undisputed father of the renaissance of Italian oenology, Ambrogio has devoted his entire life to the pursuit of excellence, helping change wine tasting and creating, through an enhancement of the nuances of terroir, Supertuscan wines that have won acclaim across the world. At the head of Chianti Ruffino in Pontassieve, he opted for Tuscany as the land of choice, creating iconic wines capable of combining tradition and modern taste. During the 1970s and 1980s, Ambrogio was responsible for a turning point in the entire industry, with the comeback of reds that, previously classified as table wines, were able to showcase the peculiarities of a terroir with a millennium of history. 1982 marked the birth of Cabreo, a wine of high quality that crowned all the oenological research of its creator.
