A vineyard which, from a ridge, slopes down into a gorge; all around, only woods and lakes. It is here, on Tenuta di Nozzole, in Greve in Chianti, that one of the historic crus of Tenute Folonari is born, the first harvest of which dates back to 1980. La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG is a wine in which, the viticultural and oenological sciences, are applied wisely; an example of how tradition, understood as the historical path of wine, has been taken over by innovation. For this reason, for 40 years La Forra has represented the perfect expression of the historic territory of Greve, the capital of the Florentine Chianti Classico.

Tasting: The 2019 vintage reveals a soft entry and a firm taste. The tertiary aromas of wood are present but never invasive. A delicate wine. Balanced hints of cut red flowers, such as rose and acacia in addition to sweet tertiary aromas such as vanilla, milk chocolate and finally a sprinkle of black pepper. Mouthfeel sensations of balance between the four primary tastes.
Pairing: Villa di Nozzole suggests to pair it with pigeon filled with black truffle, spring onions and carrots glazed with balsamic vinegar.
First vintage: 1980
