The Tenuta Nozzole was purchased by the Folonari family in 1971 and is located near Greve in the central part of the Chianti Classico appellation. The wines of Greve are noted for their rich and flavorful style. Grown in higher elevation vineyards, the 2020 Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva is a lovely example of the beauty of Sangiovese from Greve. The nose shows pure red cherry and plum tones with hints of roses, herbs and subtle baking spices. The red cherry and plum fruits dominate the palate and are enhanced by elements of black cherry, earth and spice. This is exciting Chianti, with the brightness and purity that defines the best of the appellation. The vivid cherry fruit carries through the long finish. Serve it with your favorite foods off the grill.
