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 300 meters 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.
Tasting Notes: Crisp, ripe, red berry and cherry aromas and flavors and earthy undernotes are shaped by vibrant, fresh acidity and a backbone of firm yet elegant tannins.
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.
