GIOVANNI FOLONARI
Tenute A & G Folonari
Giovanni Folonari, Managing Director of Tenute A & G Folonari, attended grammar and high school in Florence and later pursued academic studies with a degree in fermentation and oenology from the University of California, Davis in 1998. After a six-month apprenticeship with a California winery where he focused on research and micro-vinification, and his army service, he joined the family firm as vineyard and production manager in 1991.
Oenology has always been an integral part of his life, working summers and vacations in all aspects of viniculture — vineyards, cellars, and lab, working his way up to assistant cellar master. He now lives at the Cabreo Fattoria di Zano with his wife and children.
