Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Il Nocio 2020 Boscarelli

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio is a red wine produced by Podere Boscarelli, a historic company located in the area of Cervognano di Montepulciano, Tuscany. Made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown in the "Vigna del Nocio," an area of about 4 hectares located between 280 and 350 meters above sea level, this wine expresses the characteristics of the territory with purity and refinement. The alluvial soils, with distinct sandy and clayey areas, give the wine elegance and complexity.

After destemming and a soft pressing, the grapes ferment in oak vats, using indigenous yeasts and controlled temperatures between 27 and 31 degrees. The maceration can last up to 17 days to best extract the aromas and structure. It then matures separately in Slavonian or French oak barrels for a period of 18 to 24 months. After the final blending, the wine rests in bottles for about a year before commercialization.

Of ruby red color, it stands out for its fragrant and refined bouquet, with notes of sour cherry, red raspberry, and a delicate spiciness. On the palate, it is balanced and harmonious, with rarefied tannins and hints of mulberry and Mediterranean scrub, which provide depth and persistence.

This red wine is the ideal companion for Chianina steak, tagliata, and complex first courses with mushrooms, enhancing the richness and elegance of Tuscan cuisine.
