Good depth of flavors, more spice, and a long finish. If you squint, the end is in sight, but no rush yet. (855 views) | | | Tasted by VeniceCalif on 3/19/2021 & rated 87 points: Perfectly pleasant. (793 views) | | | Tasted by TottenCellars on 11/25/2020: Excellent with lasagna, great on its own. Unfortunately my last of this set. :(
An auto buy for the future. (789 views) | | | Tasted by merryberry on 11/4/2020 & rated 90 points: Dark translucent red. Baked cherry pie, warm spice and cedar nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, tart cherries, well integrated tannins, baking spices, good acid, and a nice long finish. No real signs of age yet. What a value. (727 views) | | | Tasted by Rc_184 on 1/26/2018 & rated 74 points: Great with a red Italian sauce. (2258 views) | | | Tasted by klezman on 2/28/2017: Good...but I should have left this longer. I think these do better with another year or two of age on them. Bright cherry, hints of tobacco, warm spices, nice acid, occasional whiffs of alcohol on the nose. Nice finsh - spices primarily. (2564 views) | | | Tasted by foobarski on 12/2/2016 & rated 88 points: Tastes somewhat young, but still quite drinkable now. Very much a traditional Sangiovese. (1350 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 8/21/2016 & rated 89 points: Light medium red color; cherry, vanilla nose; cherry, tart raspberry, spice palate; medium-plus finish (290 views) | | | Tasted by sangiovese nut on 5/1/2016 & rated 88 points: Another great vintage from Noceto. Their "Normale" sangiovese is our everyday red table wine and it is well worth it. (1557 views) | | | Tasted by sangiovese nut on 12/15/2015 & rated 87 points: Another fine vintage of Noceto's "Normale " (1439 views) |

Vino Noceto is a family-run vineyard and wine business founded in 1987 by Suzy and Jim Gullett of Shenandoah Valley, Plymouth, California. We are Sangiovese specialists, currently producing over 9,000 cases annually of Sangiovese from estate and nearby small vineyards. We additionally produce Moscato Bianco, Barbera, and Zinfandel. We have twenty-four acres of producing Sangiovese and one acre of Syrah. SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sierra FoothillsAmador |
