“A new frontier for Italian wine: the Super Tuscans”

The Tenute del Cabreo are located in Greve in Chianti. Part of its vineyard (Fattoria di Zano) is located right above Greve, consists of approximately 50 hectares planted with Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon for the production if “Cabreo il Borgo”.

The rest of the vineyards (25 hectares) are located in Panzano (6 Km south of Greve): they are planted with Chardonnay used to produce the “Cabreo La Pietra”.

Cabreo was conceived as an Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) wine in order to take advantage of the flexibility provided by the regulations of this type of classification. It allows the great potential of the Tuscan’s terroir to produce a variety of high quality wines.

Cabreo Il Borgo first appeared in 1985 with its 1982 vintage. It is based on a combination of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes which highlight both the elegance and the aroma of the Sangiovese and the roundness and intensity of the Cabernet.

Cabreo La Pietra, whose first vintage was 1983, is a white wine which, through fermentation and maturation in oak barrels, achieves a Tuscan interpretation of a wine style highly successful worldwide.
