Tasting note Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG
An elegant and characterful Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG from Tuscany. The nose reveals ripe cherries, red and dark fruit, spices, and subtle earthy notes. As the wine opens up, nuances of leather, liquorice, and a slight balsamic spiciness can also be detected.
On the palate, the wine is beautifully structured, with lively acidity, refined tannins, and great length. The ripe cherry fruit is complemented by spicy and earthy tones. A classic Tuscan red wine with power, but above all, elegance and balance.
Food pairing
Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG is a wonderful companion to beef, game, lamb, stews, and mushrooms. Also delicious with Tuscan dishes such as pappardelle with game ragout, ossobuco, or dishes with truffle.
Other information
The wine comes from Cervognano, an area within Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is where the Boscarelli winery has its vineyards and has been making wines for generations that highlight the typical characteristics of Sangiovese. The Riserva falls under the DOCG Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva, the highest Italian quality classification.
The basis of this wine is Sangiovese, locally known as Prugnolo Gentile. Depending on the vintage and source used, a small portion of Colorino is also mentioned.
The wine undergoes a longer ageing process than the standard Vino Nobile, which refines the tannins and allows the wine to develop more complexity and depth.
The hand-harvested grapes are processed separately and fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in oak barrels. Fermentation lasts approximately 10 days at 28–30 °C, followed by a few extra days of maceration on the skins. The wine then undergoes malolactic fermentation and matures for 28 to 32 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels. Finally, the wine is aged in the bottle for several months before being released onto the market.

Fun fact
Boscarelli temporarily stopped producing this Riserva after the 1992 harvest. The family decided to first replant the vineyards with selected plant material. The Riserva only returned in 2010, when the new vines were nearly twenty years old.
