The Estate

Established by Antonio Garofoli in 1871, the Garofoli estate is the oldest wine company in the Marche, Italy. His son Gioacchino continued his father’s work and founded Gioacchino Garofoli in 1901. He was succeeded by his sons, Dante and Franco, and they were both succeeded by Franco’s sons, Carlo and Gianfranco.

Wine Making

Marche takes both sides in the Sangiovese/Montepulciano rivalry of central Italy, and so does Garofoli. Monte Reale presents the case for Sangiovese, a pure Sangiovese wine sourced from vineyards across the region. The wine’s name comes from one of the main streets in the pilgrimage city of Loreto.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with breads, ham, hard cheese, Pasta, red meat, and roasted vegetables.
