Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva 2017 

The Nozzole estate produces a Chianti Classico Riserva and a single-vineyard wine from the superb "La Forra" parcel. Cabernet Sauvignon, cultivated principally in another parcel of the estate planted in 1981 called "Il Pareto," yields a pure Cabernet wine first produced in the 1987 vintage. The principal white vineyards of the Nozzole estate, the "Le Bruniche" and "Casa Vecchia" vineyards, once planted in Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia, were replanted to Chardonnay in the early 1980s. These vineyards now produce Nozzole Le Bruniche, a distinctive, pure varietal Chardonnay.

Winemaker Notes: Cherry and violet aromas, persistent and rounded flavors of spices and mushroom. Great structure with elegant finesse.

Aromatic and pretty with cherry, spice, walnut and light chocolate character on the nose. Medium to full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Impressive structure.

The freshness and snappy, easy-drinking personality of this wine would make it a great companion to a traditional Tuscan pasta dish of pappardelle with game meat. The Tenuta di Nozzole 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Nozzole offers an accessible and classic integration of one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions. This expression moves over the palate with crisp and tight lines, showing plenty of red cherry, raspberry and cassis along the way.
