This Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2001 from Tenuta di Nozzole (Folonari) shows a mature, composed profile consistent with the stated vintage. In the glass it displays a ruby colour with evolved hues; on the nose it offers complex aromas recalling ripe red fruit, light spice notes and a subtle earthy hint. The aromatic picture is restrained rather than showy, in line with a Riserva that has undergone bottle evolution.

On the palate it is expected to offer balanced body, present but smoothed tannins and good structure to support the drinking experience; the finish is moderate and leaves room for the aromatic echoes perceived on the nose. Suitable with traditional Tuscan dishes and flavourful meats; serve at a moderate temperature and, if preferred, decant before serving. Offered in wooden case, it is suitable for immediate enjoyment or for those who wish to consider further bottle evolution.

Winery history
The Folonari family has deep roots in the Brescia area and has been involved in wine production since the late 18th century. At the end of the 19th century the headquarters were moved to Brescia, and in the early 20th century the family acquired the historic Ruffino winery. In the 1960s Nino Folonari began a shift toward quality with the acquisition of estates in Chianti. In 2000 Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari established Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute, which brings together several estates in Tuscany, while the Folonari brand offers an extensive range of table wines and appellation wines.
Production philosophy
Enhance the production areas, combine tradition and innovation, and focus on grape quality to produce wines that are distinctive and closely tied to their territory; the company's plan includes investments in the estates and attention to the diversity of terroirs.
Terroir and vineyards
Headquarters and estates are mainly in Tuscany, with production and a presence also in north-eastern regions such as Veneto and in areas like the Collio; the company’s history begins in the Bresciano and includes references to territories around Lake Garda and beyond.
Awards and recognitions
The "Vinitaly Territory Ambassador" award was presented to Ambrogio e Giovanni Folonari Tenute.
