Wine from Weinviertel
Filter
The Weinviertel is a prominent wine region located in the northeastern part of Austria, known for its wine production. This region is situated in the federal state of Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) and is the country's largest wine-growing area. The name "Weinviertel" translates to "wine quarter," reflecting its significance in Austrian winemaking.
Here are some key features and aspects of the Weinviertel wine region:
Grüner Veltliner: The Weinviertel is particularly renowned for its production of Grüner Veltliner, a white wine grape variety that thrives in the region's climate and soil. Grüner Veltliner wines from Weinviertel are known for their crisp acidity, citrusy notes, and peppery character.
Terroir: The Weinviertel's terroir consists of loess soil, which is well-suited for growing grapes. This type of soil retains water, allowing the vines to thrive in the region's continental climate, characterized by hot summers and cold winters.
DAC Classification: The Weinviertel is divided into specific winegrowing areas, and the wines produced here often carry the Weinviertel DAC (Districtus Austriae Controllatus) designation. The Weinviertel DAC is exclusively reserved for Grüner Veltliner wines that meet certain quality standards.
Red Wines: While Grüner Veltliner dominates the production, the Weinviertel also produces red wines, including varieties such as Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch.
Wine Tourism: The Weinviertel is not only a significant wine-producing region but also attracts wine enthusiasts and tourists. Visitors can explore the vineyards, taste local wines in traditional Heuriger wine taverns, and experience the cultural and culinary aspects of the region.
Wine Routes: The Weinviertel has established wine routes, allowing visitors to tour the vineyards and wineries. These routes provide a scenic and educational experience for those interested in learning more about the winemaking process.
The Weinviertel's commitment to quality winemaking and its unique expression of Grüner Veltliner have contributed to its reputation as a notable wine region in Austria. If you have the opportunity to explore Austrian wines, trying Grüner Veltliner from the Weinviertel can provide a distinctive and enjoyable tasting experience.

Tenuta di Nozzole La Forra Chianti Classico Riserva is made from 100% Sangiovese.
Located north of the village of Greve in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, the Nozzole estate covers a striking, rugged, mountainous area of about 1,000 acres at 984 feet in elevation. In order to obtain concentration and complexity in the wine, yields are kept low. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and crushed. Fermentation is initiated on the skins in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a maceration period to draw out color and tannins. The wine is racked into stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation before aging in oak vats and in bottle before release. The wine is bottled on the estate.
The 2020 vintage was characterized by a basically cold period between April and May and by a generally warm and dry climate until July. The initial slight delay of the vegetative cycle has been recovered since the summer. The sudden increase in temperatures, especially for the later varieties where the fruit set had not yet ended, has favored a production characterized by sparse and light bunches. The stable and sunny climate of the months of August and September allowed the grapes to complete ripening in optimal conditions.
- A classic, traditional Chianti from the Folonari family, making wine since the 1700s
- Matured in oak barrels
- Estate bottled, from a highly regarded estate
