Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Nocio 2015
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, ‘king of all wines' according to poet Francesco Redi in the 17th century, bears a family resemblance to both Chianti Classico and Brunello, as it is made from Sangiovese that, in this region, is known as Prugnolo Gentile. The property takes its name from the Bosco – Tuscan dialect for woods – that surround the vineyards in Cervognano, one of Montepulciano's finest crus. A blockbuster single vineyard Prugnolo with enormous concentration and complexity whose ageing potential is measured in decades. The four-hectare Nocio vineyard is picked, fermented and aged parcel by parcel and, following 24 months in a combination of barrel, tonneaux and barrique, the final wine is blended. Intense aromas of red cherry fruit with rose, violet and sweet spices. The palate is dense structured and tightly wound. 100% Sangiovese.
Product of Tuscany, Italy.
