Giovanna Folonari
Until recently, the Folonari and Ruffino families were partners in winemaking. A few years ago they divided their assets and the Folonari have focused on producing top class wines.
Giovanna Folonari is our incredibly elegant and dynamic hostess. She was the pioneer of the “cooking class” concept over 20 years ago and here we can see why. Her instinctive flare with ingredients and flavours and her captivating charisma make this culinary experience like no other. While sampling the white wines of her son Gianni, winemaker for all the top Folonari wines, we prepare lunch with Giovanna.
