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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, individually destemmed, and gently crushed. Subsequently, the different varieties ferment separately in oak barrels, which are filled to a maximum of about two-thirds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts and lasts approximately 10 days at 28–30 °C. During fermentation, the skins are regularly submerged, and the must is pumped over the skins. Maceration can then continue for another 5 to 8 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfterward, each cuvée ages separately in French and Slavonian oak barrels. Malolactic fermentation also occurs there. The total aging lasts a remarkable 28 to 32 months. Only then are the different wines blended. The wine then undergoes several months of bottle aging before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAwards\/Distinctions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: muli\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e96 points – Wine Enthusiast (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e95 points – James Suckling (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e94 points – Wine Enthusiast (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e94 points – Vinous (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e93 points – Falstaff (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e91 points – Wine Spectator (2020)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: muli\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun fact \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003eSotto Casa\u003c\/strong\u003e literally means \"\u003cstrong\u003eunder the house\u003c\/strong\u003e.\" The wine comes from Boscarelli's vineyards in \u003cstrong\u003eCervognano\u003c\/strong\u003e, directly around the historic estate.
