The estate has belonged to the Folonari family since the early 20th century. They are one of the oldest wine-growing families in Italy and they have greatly contributed to the fame of Chianti Classico around the world. The Folonari family's philosophy is based on respect for tradition combined with innovation to produce authentic wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The estate covers about 385 hectares, of which 90 are dedicated exclusively to vineyards. It is mainly planted with Sangiovese, the emblematic grape variety of the region, but there is also Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. The different parcels of the estate benefit from varied exposures and diversified soils, some of which present a high concentration of galestro, a type of schist typical of the region, giving the wines great finesse and remarkable aromatic complexity. At Tenuta di Nozzole Estate, winemaking is done with respect for the traditions of the region, but without fear of integrating new techniques to constantly improve the quality of the wines.
