The wine has lively acidity, silky tannins, and great depth. Notes of blackcurrant, mulberry, Mediterranean herbs, and a light minerality emerge alongside the ripe cherry fruit.

The plots are located between approximately 280 and 350 meters above sea level and have a unique alluvial soil with distinctly different sandy and clayey zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoscarelli has owned the vineyard since 1988. Since 1991, the family has been specifically selecting different clones of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile here, tailored to the soil and microclimate. On average, only about \u003cstrong\u003e5,000 bottles of Il Nocio\u003c\/strong\u003e are produced annually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd that immediately explains why this wine is so special: Il Nocio is a pure expression of one specific vineyard and one grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, with a maximum fill of about two-thirds, and uses indigenous yeasts. The temperature is controlled between approximately 27 and 31 °C. During the initial phase, short pump-overs are performed, and the cap is manually submerged. After alcoholic fermentation, maceration can continue for another 7 to 10 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSubsequently, the individual cuvées mature for 18 to 24 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels of 5 to 10 hectoliters. Only then are the different batches blended. The wine then undergoes approximately one year of bottle aging before being sold.
