Vino Nobile Il Nocio DOCG - Boscarelli
A legendary wine, capable of being not only the flagship of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in the world but also and above all of the great pure Sangiovese, the Nocio dei Boscarelli comes from a plot of approximately three hectares planted in 1972 not far from the cellar. A careful selection of the bunches is followed by vinification in small wooden vats and subsequent maturation in large French oak barrels. The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Nocio dei Boscarelli from Poderi Boscarelli is a paradigmatic wine for elegance, a demonstration of how much Sangiovese is able to express when coming from such highly suitable areas. A wonderful wine, already very good today and capable of evolving magnificently in the bottle for decades.

The Cellar: Boscarelli is a small and historic family business, a symbol for the entire Montepulciano area, the first to believe in the potential of an area so close to Montalcino. We are in fact about 300 meters above sea level, towards the Valdichiana, in a terroir where the microclimate is particularly suitable for the production of quality wines. At the helm of the winery are the grandchildren of the legendary Egidio Corradi, who founded the company in 1962. Among the rows, which extend for approximately 14 hectares, Sangiovese is the most present vine, with several clones. We then find other native varieties such as Mammolo Canaiolo and Colorino, together with renowned international varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The quality of all the production is very high, a reflection of impeccable work and continuous maximization of the expression of the different soils. The harvest phase differs depending on the ripeness of each grape, and even in the cellar the individual varieties ferment separately and this also happens for the ripening phase. A philosophy that requires a lot of work, but which allows us to express the deepest character of each plot.
