The Cabreo Il Borgo brings together all the elements of the Folonari style nicely. Mocha, black cherry, espresso, licorice and sweet oak all meld together in an attractive, supple Tuscan red that will drink well with minimal cellaring. In 2016, Cabreo is more refined and nuanced than I remember seeing in the past. Sweet floral notes add lift through to the silky finish.

Rich and polished, this shows a light hand with new oak. Black cherry, plum, blackberry, iron, vanilla, coffee and tobacco flavors mingle, supported by lively acidity and dense, refined tannins. Balanced and long. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2036.
