Noceto’s Brunello-style Riserva Sangiovese is blended from the best estate lots and displays superior fruit while retaining balance. Fruit-packed, full-flavored, and complex with a lingering finish.
"This robust and tannic wine exudes sawn oak aromas, and blends both tart and ripe red fruits on the palate. Its grippy texture and concentration give a sense of good aging potential. Best from 2023."

Elegant, with overtones of sweet oak, this 100% estate Sangiovese Piccolo comes from the hillside on our ranch-house parcel. Grapes for this selection were originally sourced from Isole e Olena in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy.
91 points, Silver - California State Fair
No Single Block has evolved over the years as much as Hillside. This is a wine that has "grown up" with every consecutive vintage. Last year, it was our 2015 Hillside that so impressed the judges at the California State Fair, they awarded the wine "Best Sangiovese in California." It sold out within a month of receiving the praise. The 2016 vintage is, so far, tasting even better.

Jammy, spicy, earthy, rich, big, meaty, with anise, chocolate, coffee, and a lingering finish. 100% estate Sangiovese Grosso.
"This rich and relatively soft block-designated wine has a lighter-than-usual color, a rich, buttery aroma and jammy flavors that recall strawberries and plums. It's a smooth variation on the often tannic and restrained personality of Sangiovese." -Wine Enthusiast

If Dos Oakies is King, Marmellata is Queen. Richer, more opulent fruit wafts from the glass, mingling with notes of chocolate, baking spice, coffee, and vanilla. This wine is a perennial favorite for our Big Nut club members, and it rivals Dos Oakies as the first to sell out.

Great structure and classic Italian, Sangiovese flavors, this 100% estate Sangiovese Grosso comes from the oldest portion of our vineyard, planted in 1987, between the tall, thin oak and the now-departed short, stout oak. Grapes for this selection were originally sourced from Il Poggione in Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy.

93 pts, Gold, Best Sangiovese - San Diego's Toast of the Coast
This is the vineyard that started Vino Noceto and is still the source of some of our most profound and ageable Sangioveses. With formidable structure, reserved fruit, and pronounced, savory notes of leather, cedar, and clay, it is usually the first Single Block to sell out.
93 points "Cellar Selection" - Wine Enthusiast
A super-premium, Brunello-style Sangiovese, Noceto's AX-1 is the result of many years of experimentation to produce a California Sangiovese to rival the best Italian Brunellos.

Double Gold Winner, 95 Point Wine
"Nicely concentrated and ripe-tasting, this full-bodied wine is a standout. It shows great structure, wrapping good acidity and fine-grained tannins around red-cherry, raspberry, earth and new leather flavors. It's already been aging in the winery cellar, but should keep developing through 2024." - Wine Enthusiast
