Fogliatonda

The Tuscan Fogliatonda owes its name to its strikingly round leaves, yet in the glass it reveals a wonderfully characterful, firmly structured profile. As a historic variety, it contributes a deep colour, vibrant acidity and a ripe tannic framework to classic cuvées. Its aromas are multi-layered, offering dark forest berries, black cherries, tobacco and fine spice. In the Chianti region, it serves as a structure-giving partner that lends additional depth to Sangiovese. At the table, its juicy, dense style pairs beautifully with earthy braised dishes or aged cheese.

How harmoniously this autochthonous grape variety fits into a blend is demonstrated by the cuvée »Le Trame« from Le Boncie. Here, Fogliatonda combines with Mammolo and Sangiovese to form a dense tapestry that shines with delicate notes of dried wood, cherries and orange peel, bearing vivid testament to the winemaking traditions of Tuscany.
