La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2021 from Tenuta di Nozzole for Folonari shows a clear color and a compact structure. On the nose there are impressions of ripe red fruit, light spicy nuances and a hint of earthy notes; the aromas unfold in a balanced way without excess. On the palate it has body, well-integrated tannins and a linear flavor progression that echoes the fruit perceived on the nose, supported by good acidity that preserves freshness and tension.

It pairs well with traditional Tuscan dishes, meat ragù, aged cheeses and hearty soups; serve at around 16–18 °C and, if desired, decant briefly to encourage aromatic openness. For those seeking a recognizable Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG with a restrained style, this wine offers a coherent, ready-to-enjoy option with some potential for medium-term development if stored under suitable conditions.

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.
