Hidden Tuscany Rating
This Toscana Rosso IGT 2001 from Tenuta di Nozzole is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 24 months in French oak, with a profile of black fruits, tobacco and cedar. Its main reservation: an undistinguished IGT at €113.01 for 75 cl, with a Bordeaux grape variety poorly rooted in the area.
IGT Toscana in Cabernet Sauvignon from Greve in Chianti: named zone but Bordeaux grape variety with no described link to the terroir, international style.
No awards or guides mentioned; the producer Folonari is named, but nothing attests to a distinction.
At €113.01 for 75 cl for an IGT with no distinction or awards, the price seems high for what is described.
Specific pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), detailed aromatic profile and serving at 16-18 °C: good use at the table.
Folonari estate named and located at Nozzole, manual selection, long maceration, 24 months in barrique and French oak: detailed practices.

Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you on a unique sensory journey with this Toscana Rosso I.G.T. «Il Pareto» 2001 from the Tenuta di Nozzole. Imagine a wine that, after more than twenty years, still reveals rare power and elegance, a testament to time and craftsmanship.
Nestled in the heart of Chianti Classico, in Greve in Chianti, the Folonari estate, through its Tenuta di Nozzole, has managed to tame Cabernet Sauvignon and turn it into a purely Tuscan expression. This grape variety, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is the fruit of a meticulous selection of the clusters and a vinification that respects its character. The long maceration and fermentation in steel tanks prepare this wine for its long slumber.
After two years spent in French oak barriques and casks, this 2001 presents itself with a deep red color. On the nose, you will discover an enchanting complexity: notes of ripe red and black fruits mingle with spices, chocolate, tobacco and a hint of cedar. On the palate, it offers remarkable structure and concentration, with present but balanced tannins, and a beautiful persistence that prolongs the pleasure.
To fully appreciate this «Il Pareto», I recommend decanting it a few hours before serving it at a temperature suited to great red wines. It will be the ideal companion for your most refined meals: think of grilled or roasted red meats, flavorful game, or a selection of aged cheeses. It is a wine that invites sharing, particularly in magnum format, for convivial moments and special occasions where you want to leave a lasting impression.
