The company consists of four different estates, which allow for the cultivation of each grape variety in the area most suitable for microclimate and soil characteristics.. The Tenuta Folo takes its name from a branch of the Zaro family and has vineyards that date back to the ownership of the ancestors, passed down through the centuries to the present day.
