Tenuta di Nozzole

Greve in Chianti is the northernmost Chianti Classico sub-area on the border with Florence. Crossed from north to south by the river Greve, one of the three rivers of the Chianti Classico, it is characterized by soils rich in clay and marl and a continental climate. These pedoclimatic aspects characterize the production of Chianti Classico of the Tenuta di Nozzole in power and elegance. Sangiovese is the absolute protagonist of the Nozzole Estate, where, in a unique ecosystem of Mediterranean maquis, it expresses all its potential. Used alone in the vintage, reserve and grand selection versions, it is aged in small toasted wood and in large seasoned oak barrels, a symbol of the Tuscan tradition, depending on the wine project. The Sangiovese is flanked by a Chardonnay vineyard called Le Bruniche where the estate's white is produced and two historic Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards for the production of the Supertuscan Il Pareto. A farm dating back to 1300 with 385 hectares of land, of which about 90 are specialized vineyards and 15 are olive groves, was purchased by the Folonari family in 1971. The Villa di Nozzole is located at the top of the hill which rises from 150 meters to about 300 meters above sea level sea level. The large barrique cellar and the vault of the historical vintages are two architectural exclusivity of the estate which offers the possibility of guided tours and tastings of all the wines of the Folonari estates.
