Tenuta di Nozzole Description
Located north of the village of Greve in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, the Nozzole estate covers a striking, rugged, mountainous area of about 1,000 acres at 984 feet in elevation. In order to obtain concentration and complexity in the wine, yields are kept low. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation is initiated on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a maceration period to draw out color and tannins. The wine is racked into stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation before aging in oak vats and in bottle before release. The wine is bottled on the estate.
James Suckling: 93 Points
This shows aromas of spices, walnuts, dark berries and hints of cedar and wet earth. Juicy and filled with fruit, with a medium to full body and firm tannins. Structured and nicely shaped, with notes of spices and bitter oranges in the long finish. Drink or hold.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
Touches of vanilla and new oak round out the edges of this red, with flavors of plum, black cherry and earth. This is balanced, if leaning toward the tannins a little in the mix. Salty finish.
