Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with mature garnet tones at the rim, reflecting its age and development. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with ripe red fruit, warm spice, tobacco, and subtle hints of vanilla and cocoa beginning to emerge. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and complex, with balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins giving it both freshness and shape. The finish is long and satisfying, carrying notes of dried fruit, spice, and a gentle touch of chocolate. Drinking beautifully now, it still offers the poise and structure that allow for further graceful evolution, though its peak maturity is already well established.

Production
Produced by Tenuta di Nozzole in Tuscany’s Chianti Classico zone, La Forra comes from one of the area’s more prized vineyard sites, where Sangiovese benefits from the region’s ideal balance of sun, elevation, and soil diversity. The vineyard’s terroir helps preserve the grape’s natural acidity while developing aromatic intensity and firm structure. Harvesting is typically carried out with careful selection to ensure optimal ripeness, followed by traditional vinification methods designed to emphasize elegance, depth, and varietal purity. As a Riserva, the wine is given extended maturation to build complexity, soften the tannins, and integrate the oak-derived nuances that support the wine’s long, refined finish.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for grilled or roasted red meats, game dishes, braised beef, and mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C to best reveal its aromatic complexity and structure. Decanting is recommended, especially if opening now, to allow the bouquet to open fully and the texture to become even more polished.
