Tenute di Nozzole | Le Bruniche Chardonnay di Toscana - NV

Aromas of citrus blossom and white stone fruit lead the nose along with a whiff of crushed herb. On the creamy palate, fresh acidity brightens mature yellow apple, white peach and a hint of lemon zest. It closes on a savory, almost salty note.

Producer Information

Tenute di Nozzole is a Tuscan wine estate located in the heart of the Chianti Classico zone, north of the village of Greve. It has been owned by the Folonari family since 1971 and is known mainly for its wines from the Sangiovese grape as well as a leading Cabernet Sauvignon. The entire estate covers around 400 hectares (1000 acres), with around 90ha (225 acres) planted to vineyards. It produces a standard Chianti Classico and a Riserva that are aged in both French and Slavonian oak, plus a single-vineyard Gran Selezione wine from the La Forra parcel. This wine is only released in the very best years and spends around eight months in stainless steel, and then 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels. In the 1980s, the Trebbiano and Malvasia plantings that were grown to blend into the red wine were replaced with Chardonnay to make the unoaked Le Bruniche cuvée. The Folonari family's winemaking history in Tuscany dates back to the 1700s. The extended family owned the Nozzole and Ruffino brands plus some smaller estates. In 2000, the two were split and Ruffino is now owned by Constellation Brands. Today, the Folonaris own several other properties around Tuscany, including Tenuta del Cabreo in Chianti Classico, La Fuga in Montalcino, TorCalvano in Montepulciano, Campo al Mare in Bolgheri and Vigne a Porrona in Montecucco.
