Additional information
The Costa Grande comes from Cervognano near Montepulciano, in the Val di Chiana. The vineyards are situated on rolling slopes and benefit from a moderate microclimate with cooling air currents. The soil consists partly of clay and sand, which contributes to the combination of structure and elegance.
The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed, and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in small wooden vats at approximately 28–30 °C. During fermentation, the cap is regularly punched down and pumped over. After fermentation, maceration on the skins continues for about 5 to 8 days.
The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation, followed by a remarkably long maturation process. The Costa Grande first ages for about a year in 5-hectoliter tonneaux, after which it is transferred to larger oak barrels of about 25 hectoliters. It remains there for another year. Subsequently, the wine rests for several months in concrete vats and then spends about 6 to 12 months bottle-aging before being released to the market.
For a Vino Nobile that is not a Riserva, this is quite exceptional and explains why this wine can develop significant complexity. Discover even more wines from the Tuscan winery Boscarelli

Fun fact
Costa Grande is not a Riserva, but it does undergo a significantly long maturation process. The wine spends about two years in wood, followed by months in concrete vats and then a substantial period in the bottle. In doing so, Boscarelli clearly takes the time to let the wine settle before it is sold.
