In the style of a traditional Chianti -- an estate field blend of Sangiovese with Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Canaiolo Nero – the Trebbiano extracting depth and color, the Malvasia adding tropical overtones, and the Canaiolo Nero adding a soft fruitiness. Misto is a staff-favorite because of its unique flavor profile and depth.

Remarkably balanced, with a blend of earth, spice, and minerality. This gracefully aging wine starts with bright red notes of rhubarb and cherry and finishes with spicy minerality, pleasing tannins, and layers of flavor.

A fruit-forward wine, the 2006 vintage has notes of cherry and raspberry that are counterbalanced by a subtle smokiness and spicy minerality. With its mild tannins, this wine would be the perfect companion to a salty, herb-roasted chicken.

2004 Riserva displays a simple, balanced elegance. Its mellow fruit is accompanied by bright green herbal notes and smooth tannins that grip the tongue. In the opinion of Suzy and Bobby Gullett, this is one of the best wines Noceto has ever produced.

The 2004 Hillside has developed a pleasing, sweet, medium ripe red fruit that is balanced out by notes of black pepper. This wine is ready to drink now, and we highly suggest pairing it with turkey and cranberry sauce!
