Tasting note Boscarelli Sotto Casa Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG
A powerful yet elegant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG from Tuscany. The nose reveals ripe cherries and plums, complemented by notes of leather, tobacco, balsamic, and a subtle green spiciness.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and beautifully structured, with juicy ripe fruit, lively acidity, and refined, polished tannins. The long maturation adds depth and complexity, while the wine retains its fresh Tuscan character. The finish is long, spicy, and elegant.

Other information
The wine comes from Cervognano, an area within Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is where the winery Boscarelli has its vineyards and has been producing wines for generations that highlight the typical characteristics of Sangiovese. The soil in Cervognano is stony and rich in red clay of alluvial origin. The Riserva falls under the DOCG Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva, the highest Italian quality classification.
The grapes are harvested by hand, destemmed separately, and gently crushed. Subsequently, the different varieties ferment separately in oak barrels that are filled to a maximum of about two-thirds.
The fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and lasts about 10 days at 28–30 °C. During fermentation, the skins are regularly submerged and the must is pumped over the skins. Afterward, the maceration can continue for another 5 to 8 days.
Each cuvée then matures separately in French and Slavonian oak barrels. The malolactic fermentation also takes place there. The total aging period lasts no less than 28 to 32 months. Only then are the different wines blended. Subsequently, the wine receives a few more months of bottle aging before it is released to the market.

Fun fact
The name Sotto Casa literally means “under the house.” The wine comes from Boscarelli's vineyards in Cervognano, directly surrounding the historic estate. It is therefore literally a wine from the vineyards “right at the doorstep.”
