Tenuta di Nozzole belongs to Tenute Folonari, or the legacy of a family that was protagonist of the history of Tuscan wine. For a century, the Folonari family owned the historic Ruffino, which was later sold to the Costellation Brands group.
Ambrogio and Giovanni Folonari, father and son, have decided to focus the business on fine wines and under the banner "Tenute Folonari" they manage the Tenuta di Nozzole and the Tenuta del Cabreo in Chianti, the Fuga winery in Montalcino, Torcalvano winery in Montepulciano and Campo al Mare winery in Bolgheri.
Tenuta di Nozzole is located in the northern part of the village of Greve in Chianti a few kilometers from Florence and is the headquarters of the Tenute Folonari. It has 90 hectares of vineyards mainly cultivated with Sangiovese; the most produced wine is Chianti Classico in all types and also the traditional Vin Santo. Furthermore, one of the great Supertuscan wines made from Cabernet sauvignon was born here: Pareto.
