Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended and where every sip tells a story. This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione 2020 from the Tenuta di Nozzole is an encounter with authenticity, a pure expression of its terroir.
Nestled in the prestigious Chianti Classico appellation, this wine is the fruit of the meticulous work of the Tenuta di Nozzole, a property of the Folonari family, located in Greve in Chianti. It is here, on these blessed lands, that Sangiovese, the sole grape variety of this wine, draws all its strength and complexity. Vinification takes place with fermentation in steel vats, followed by maceration for about four weeks, a process that extracts all the richness of the berry.
After this crucial step, the wine begins a long ageing of at least 30 months in large oak barrels, giving it a remarkable patina and depth. To the eye, you will discover a vivid and deep color. On the nose, this 2020 vintage will offer you aromas of orange and ripe mango, interwoven with notes of resinous undergrowth and spices, a rich and inviting olfactory palette. On the palate, the attack is decisive, supported by an acidity that perfectly balances the structure. The tannins, meanwhile, weave a sapid and harmonious texture, irresistibly inviting a second glass.
This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione is an ideal companion for characterful dishes. I particularly recommend it with tagliatelle al mattarello accompanied by the delicacy of tartufo bianco di San Miniato, a pairing that elevates the flavors. It will also pair wonderfully with roasted meats, game or aged cheeses. Serve it at a moderate temperature, in a large glass, so that all its aromas can fully express themselves. Let yourself be carried away by its balance and gustatory persistence, qualities that make it a perfect choice for attentive tasting or to elevate your most refined meals.
