Chianti Classico Riserva La Forra 2019
Chianti Classico Riserva la Forra by Tenuta di Nozzole is one of the jewels of Tenute Folonari, a wine that represents the Chianti tradition in an excellent way since 1980. It is produced from a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes from the highest vineyards at 300-330 m above sea level. Mass reproduction has maintained the original genetic heritage of the vineyards intact over time. In particular, the estate is located on the right bank of the Greve river in the village of Greve in Chianti on predominantly clayey soil.
The grapes ferment in steel vats at a controlled temperature and maceration lasts 20 days during which pumping over and délastage are repeated. The wine ages for 16-18 months in 500 l French oak tonneau and partly in large Slavonian oak barrels.
