Poderi Boscarelli Nobile DOCG 2020 | Ewineasia.com

Boscarelli's Nobile di Montepulciano is the winery's most traditional and representative label, a true paradigm of the territory. Indeed, this great red had maintained consistent quality and production methods since 1968, when it was first put on the market. It is, therefore, a legendary label that has contributed significantly to writing the history of the appellation and the territory.

Boscarelli Nobile di Montepulciano is made, for the most part, from Sangiovese grapes, referred to locally as Prugnolo Gentile, with small percentages of Colorino, Mammolo, and Canaiolo added. The vines stand on calcareous soils of alluvial and sandy origin, with a good presence of silt, clay and stony skeleton. The grapes are selected from 10-year-old vines and transported to the winery for the winemaking stages. After the grapes are crushed and destemmed, spontaneous fermentation in oak or steel vats filled to no more than two-thirds of their capacity, thanks to the action of indigenous yeasts, to ensure good oxygenation. Fermentation lasts one week, and pumping over and punching down are planned during this phase. Maceration continues for another 5 to 8 days after fermentation. Ageing takes place in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels of various capacities for a period of 18 to 24 months.

Nobile Boscarelli is a traditional, impeccable and elegant expression of the Montepulciano terroir. It presents itself to the eye with a deep ruby red color. The nose has elegant hints of rose violets, morello cherry and berry jam, combined with spicy and mineral notes with traces of liquorice and toastiness. The palate is soft, firm, warm, enveloping and elegant, endowed with a dense tannic texture. This is a structured and sustained red to be paired with flavorful meat dishes or aged cheeses, a vigorous expression that indulges slowly over time, giving great satisfaction to the senses.
