Tenuta Del Cabreo



Filters

Tenuta del Cabreo is spread across two unique areas within the municipality of Greve in Chianti: Zano, situated between Greve in Chianti and the historic village of Montefioralle, and Casa di Sala in Panzano in Chianti, located on the highest hills of the Chianti Classico area. The Zano estate features soils rich in gravels and marls from the Pliocene epoch, while Panzano in Chianti is characterized by white clays and schist rocks (galestro). These distinct soil types are responsible for the elegance, longevity, and complexity that define the grapes grown in these lands, and ultimately, the quality of the wine produced.

The Estate

Purchased by Nino Folonari, Giovanni’s grandfather, in 1967, the Zano estate covers about 60 hectares, 45 of which are planted with Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and the other ones are woods or rural settlements; two of these have been redeveloped by the Folonari family transforming them into two high-level hospitality facilities: Borgo del Cabreo and Relais La Pietra. The estate also houses the wine cellar and the historic Cabreo barrel room. About 15 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot noir grapes are grown on Casa di Sala in Panzano in Chianti.
