The light/lively red wine category has a new star. I’ve just finished off the bottle of Folonari Valpol in record quick time. So refreshing and such tasty fruitiness. So simple and so gulpable. So Summery. A hero of the season for sure. Lightly chill and decant into a clear glass bottle so you can enjoy the cherry red colour. And have before dinner.
The Folonari winery is on a roll and expect to see lots of their wines in my 2011 guide book….coming early NOVEMBER! The 21st edition.
