Tenuta di Nozzole Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2020 (Tuscany, Italy) - [WE 90] [WS 90]

About the Winery: 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.    Notes from the Winemaker: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 of 15-20 days to draw out color and tannins. The wine is racked into no steel tanks for malolactic fermentation before aging for 16 months in large Slavonian oak vats and in bottle a minimum of 3 months before release. The wine is bottled on the estate.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.Food Pairing:Pairs very well with meats, poultry and cheeses.Points of Distinctio
