"Made only Cabernet Sauvignon that ferments in stainless steel. The wine then ages in French tonneau-size barrels for 16-18 months. This vintage 2007 has been on the market for several years now and the beginning has met with significant success. Tasting it again today confirms that it has lost none of the goodness it had before and has even improved. The wine has a dark and intense color and a bouquet of remarkable complexity which opens with fresh notes of candied citrus followed by fruity tones of blueberry and then cinchona and graphite. The impact of the mouthfeel is silky and rich with very fine tannins. The finish is very long and satisfying and underscores a single attribute: elegance."
yr. 1999 Doctorwine:

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute di Nozzole Il Pareto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy" the vintage 1999 on 26.11.2013 with 96 of 100 points.
"A very great wine, a fine Cabernet Sauvignon, a bottle of incredible goodness, elegance and persistence, something to drink in big mouthfuls. The color is an intense ruby-red with bright reflections and an edge that remains intact. The aroma is perfect, violent and assorted but in no way caricatured with its red fruits, underbrush, dash of pepper and smoky component. The mouthfeel has endless length, with disarming and simple goodness and consistency, with very fine and velvety tannins. I really liked this one a lot."

"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. A great and surprising wine, the product of an excellent harvest in Tuscany, perhaps the best of the century. It has an intense and luminous garnet color with a slightly orange edge. Its aromatic profile is rich, complex and very full, with fruity scents of morello, blackberry, light tobacco, plus accents of spice, black pepper, on a balsamic background, even if the wine is totally Tuscan in character. The taste is slightly tannic, velvety, very delicate and balanced, with an elegant and extremely long finish."

"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The harvest was not as good as 2001 but the wine is more agile and elegant. A very intense and concentrated ruby color. The nose is youthful and nicely intense with scents of fruit and spice, especially cardamon. In the mouth the tannins are abundant and severe, though not aggressive, with a nice acidity which refreshes the whole flavor profile. The finish is bold and long."
yr. 1990 Doctorwine:

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute di Nozzole Il Pareto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy" the vintage 1990 on 06.03.2012 with 92 of 100 points.
"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The harvest was heralded but not perfect because is was late and its polyphenol component was not fully developed. Its color is a nicely concentrated, dark garnet. The nose opens with austere scents, balsamic, smoked and even spicy, with touches of rhubarb, quinine and black cherry which slowly evolve towards scents of dried flowers. In the mouth the tannins start of a little too strong and make the taste profile a little rugged before it boldly fills out to offer excellent persistence."
yr. 2008 Doctorwine:
91 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute di Nozzole Il Pareto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy" the vintage 2008 on 06.03.2012 with 91 of 100 points.
"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. A good year, balanced, less hot than 2008, with a regular harvest. The ruby color is very intense and luminous, nicely concentrated. The aromas are engagingly fruity, very youthful, with some acceptable accents of over-ripe fruit. Scents of yellow peaches, raspberry, some spicy accents of black pepper, hints of vanilla and light tobacco. A rich flavor, glyceric, enveloping and warm, with a nicely long finish."
yr. 1995 Doctorwine:

"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. A very late harvest with picking taking place well into October after a cool and rainy summer offset by a wonderful September. The color is a bright, luminous garnet of average concentration. The bouquet is balsamic and vegetable, very diversified, with classic scents of pepper next to balsamic accents of pine sap, spice and even roasted coffee. To the taste the tannins are evident, severe, but not bitter, while the acidity is noticeable and offers a preview to a subtle finish of nice length."

"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute di Nozzole Il Pareto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy" the vintage 2001 on 06.03.2012 with 88 of 100 points.
"Made Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Although it came just two years after the '99 this seems like a different wine. The harvest was a valid one, but the wood barrels were newer and the 'touch' of Michel Rolland is very evident. Its color is a very intense, concentrated and dark ruby red. The bouquet essentially fruity, with scents of black currant, then vanilla, new wood and blueberry. The attack is more soft and sweet, with dusty tannins, rich, full, concentrated but of average complexity and not too articulated."
yr. 2088 Doctorwine:
92 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Tenute di Nozzole Il Pareto Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy" the vintage 2088 with 92 of 100 points.
"Made 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, it matures in barriques and in tonneaux for around 18 months. It has a very bright and intense ruby-garnet colour and displays enveloping, ethereal aromas, with notes of blackberry jam, bilberries, cardamom, spices and a faint hint of cocoa. Its flavour is full and firm, with extremely fine-grained tannins and acidity that is well integrated with the forceful fruit. The finish is very long and warming, but not lacking in suppleness and complexity. This is a classic wine of modern Tuscan oenology, which expresses itself with elegance and class."
