Cabreo Il Borgo 2023 - Tenute Folonari

Tenute Folonari is one of Tuscany’s historic wine families, with a long tradition of producing wines that combine regional identity with a refined, international outlook. Across its estates, the family focuses on expressing the diversity of Tuscany through carefully selected vineyards, precision in the cellar and a deep understanding of both native and international grape varieties.

Cabreo Il Borgo is one of the estate’s most iconic wines and a true reference point within the Supertuscan category. First produced in 1982, it belongs to the generation of wines that helped redefine modern Tuscan winemaking. At a time when producers started looking beyond traditional appellation rules, Cabreo Il Borgo showed how Sangiovese could be elevated by the structure and depth of Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The sommelier's tip

We serve this wine with a dish featuring wild Spanish tuna. We serve the tuna raw, seasoned with just a touch of Viking salt and olive oil to keep the flavours as pure as possible. At home, this wine pairs beautifully with fresh oysters or a nice piece of white meat, such as chicken, free-range chicken or guinea fowl. A lightly pan-fried white fish would also work very well, as long as the sauce isn’t too creamy. This wine calls for light, subtle dishes, as the wine itself is all about purity and subtlety.

Pascal Jolivet Pouilly-Fumé Indigène 2025

Pascal Jolivet is one of the leading names in the Loire Valley and is especially known for pure, precise and terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The house has built its reputation on wines that combine freshness, minerality and elegance, always with a strong focus on expressing the identity of each terroir.

What makes Pascal Jolivet exceptional is the ability to produce Sauvignon Blanc with great clarity and restraint. Rather than focusing on excessive aromatic intensity, the wines are defined by precision, balance and a mineral-driven character. This makes them highly gastronomic and particularly well suited to refined dining.

Pouilly-Fumé is one of the great appellations for Sauvignon Blanc, located around Pouilly-sur-Loire on the right bank of the Loire River. The region is known for its limestone, clay and flint-rich soils, which give the wines their signature tension, aromatic purity and subtle smoky minerality. The name “Fumé” refers to the smoky, flinty character often associated with the appellation.

The sommelier's tip

We serve this wine with English lamb, accompanied by broad beans, runner beans and green beans. It also pairs wonderfully with a good piece of roasted meat, such as rib-eye, or with cold cuts and a fine selection of charcuterie. Mushrooms are another excellent match—for example, a beautiful mushroom risotto. Roast chicken would also work very well.
