Drink now or cellar for up to 20 years, this wine is made for aging. Decant before drinking.

Lying on Tuscany’s southwest edge is Montelpuciano, and further tucked in that small region is the historic estate of Torcalvano which was purchased by the Folonari family in 1994. Dating back to the 14th century, the property has undergone different names, and came to its modern designation as Torcalvano in 2000. At 300 meters in elevation, the loose soil at Torcalvano is rich in marine clays. Densely planted vines result in low fruit yields giving grapes high concentration and complexity, ideal for long cellaring.

Torcalvano Nobile di Montepulciano by Ambrogio & Giocanni Folonari is 100% Sangiovese and is locally known as Prugnolo Gentile. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged in traditional large oak casks for 24 months and later aged in bottle an additional six months before release.

The Torcalvano is not shy, this wine is powerful and intense in both aromatics and on the palate. Smashed strawberries and baked cherry tart jump out of the glass followed by leather, spiced oak and cocoa. The palate is savory with bursting flavors of red licorice, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and black pepper leading to a long, spicy finish. Medium tannin and acidity make this wine approachable to drink now or one to put away for many years. Enjoy this wine with a variety of foods including venison, beef, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheese.
