Producer Background: The history of Folonari dates from 1825 when Francesco Folonari founded the firm in Valmonica in the Veneto. In the later half of the 19th Century, he and his sons moved to Brescia, establishing one of Italy’s finest winemaking facilities. They pioneered the production and distribution of wine in bottles, thus making it possible for consumers to drink wines of good and consistent quality on an everyday basis. This philosophy continues to guide the firm today as it offers a range of modern wines from the most popular viticultural areas of Italy.
