About this wine
A single-vineyard Riserva produced since 1980 from Tenuta di Nozzole's historic 'La Forra' parcel, one of the estate's finest sites in Greve in Chianti. Made from 100% Sangiovese and produced only in strong vintages, it is considered the estate's classic, internationally styled Riserva.
A step up from the base Chianti Classico — more structure and complexity, but still classically balanced.
Sommelier's Note
"A super-classic Chianti Classico Riserva — black cherry, rose and violet aromatics over velvety tannins and crisp acidity."
Food Pairings
Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised beef, wild boar ragu, and aged Tuscan pecorino.
When to drink it
Special dinners, cellar-worthy purchases, pairing with red meat centerpieces.
