Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2020
Brilliant ruby red with a slightly lightening rim. Impressive scent of red berries, smoke, roasted almonds and dark spices. Taut, straightforward, expressive and of beautiful length on the palate. Boscarelli's Nobile di Montepulciano, with its classic understatement, is a wonderfully precise example of its growing zone every year. SUPERIORE.DE
"Becomes fine with a little air and shows depth and finesse as well as a transparent architecture already in the bouquet, is then powerful, fleshy and with sturdy tannin, juicy on the finish." Weinwisser
"The initial notes of vanilla and cocoa are complemented by tobacco, heather and plum. On the palate, the lush, supple fruit balances the robust structure and inner firmness of the tannins. It is extended by wild black and redcurrants, and a savoury note adds interest. Satisfying and complex." Decanter
"Nuanced minerality chiselled to the ripe red berries, blood orange zest, savory plums and cherries. Medium to full body on the palate with a bone-dry, transparent middle and a tight, mineral coating of tannins. Fruity but pithy and precise, too. A joy to taste and drink already." James Suckling
"A beautiful classic Nobile, a prime example of the appellation. Notes of black cherry on the nose, then floral notes, iris and a hint of eucalyptus. In the drink tension and salty tannins, fruity-floral return and balsamic finish." Luca Gardini

“Costa Grande” Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2018
A bit of everything, but never too much of a good thing. One of the most complex Nobiles we have ever tasted. Delicate red fruits with a pinch of sweetness and floral aroma, underpinned by some tobacco and raspberry. Clear cherry aroma on the palate, plus a wonderful spiciness with again that subtle sweetness in the background. A finesse-rich and harmonious final makes you want to drink the next glass. Very successful and full of precision! SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red with a gently brightening rim. In the nose with a fine leather scent, delicate roasted malt, fine strawberries in the aftertaste. On the palate then very radiant, juicy, with clear red berry fruit, ending punchily on noble spicy notes in the final." Falstaff
"Subtle yet complex bouquet with good depth coming from red fruits and spicy aromas. Some stony minerality adds a touch of austerity to the plums and cherries. Medium to full body with chalky tannins. Transparent and delicious." James Suckling
"This soft red wine, made exclusively from Sangiovese, opens with aromas of ripe wild berries, underbrush, violets and dark spices. On the polished palate, refined tannins accompany baked plums, liquorice and a hint of espresso." Wine Enthusiast
"The 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Costa Grande is incredibly pretty as the grit gives way to bright cherries, dusty violets, mint and a hint of animal musk. The wine feels round and supple, but gains traction from mineral red fruits. The finish is lightly structured yet lively. Although the 2018 has just been bottled, it shows beautifully and is full of potential. I love it." Vinous
"This ripe and almost opulent red wine shows aromas of black cherries, blackberries, violets, iron and spices. There is a hint of wild herbs that intertwine on the long, dense finish. An enticing expression of fruit supported by a solid structure." Wine Spectator

“Il Nocio dei Boscarelli” Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2017
Il Nocio, a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from a single vineyard, impressively shows the genuine essence of the Sangiovese grape and has also been one of the region's quality leaders for years. Deep red, intense aromas of sour cherry, red currant, rose blossom, violets and sweet spices. Dense, juicy and elegant on the palate, with fresh pure fruit and smooth polished tannin. Lively mineral and floral nuances in the very long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red. Very peppery on the nose, of wild berry tea, a hint of mint and dried rose petal. Full and very savoury on the palate, spreads pleasantly over the tongue, with a slightly balsamic undertone, compact tannin on the final, powerful finish." Falstaff
"Raspberries, redcurrants, raw mushrooms and fresh herbs on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins and bright acidity. Silky yet rather firm texture and a flavorful finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2022." James Suckling
"The 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio is dusty and floral yet youthfully restrained, with bright cherries and nuances of wood spice delicately lifting from the glass. Its textures are silky and enveloping. This wine is youthfully lean and quite bassy in feel, with ripe berries contrasted by brisk acids and salty minerals. There’s so much power left in reserve here, as the 2017 tapers off long and structured with fine-grained tannins. Lose your bottles in the cellar for at least two to three years. This is a standout of the vintage." Vinous
"A picture of elegance and finesse, yet with a solid underlying structure, this red evokes violet, black cherry, black currant and Tuscan scrub flavors. The refined tannins are well-integrated, and the long aftertaste adds a mineral element and a touch of oak. Expansive and complex." Wine Spectator

Lively mineral and floral nuances in the very long finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright ruby red with a softly lightening rim. A little restrained on the nose, on the palate with a beautiful melting and elegant course, shows itself finely meshed and densely woven, then somewhat consuming on the finish." Falstaff
"The 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio is a bit mute today, having only been bottled a little over a week ago. Yet what it does show has me pretty excited. Here I’m finding a much prettier expression of Il Nocio, with violet florals and licorice over ripe black cherries and hints of wood spice. It’s also more lifted and precise, coasting along a core of brilliant acidity with its crisp, red berry fruits. Hints of mocha and a subtle coating of sweet tannin linger through the medium-length finale." Vinous
"A sleek and vibrant red, with black cherry, plum and earth flavors focused by vivid acidity. This has an underlying mineral element, and the aftertaste echoes fruit and earth notes. Balanced, and should be more expressive in a year or two." Wine Spectator
"A racy and subtle nose, showing minerals and dusty red berries and strawberries, together with spice, dried flowers and a hint of orange peel. This is dry, elegant and nicely austere with firm, stony tannins that round off the palate, providing a tense and chalky feel with a linear sensation. This is a pure and transparent expression of sangiovese that will improve with time. Drinkable now, but better from 2024." James Suckling

The Genoese Egidio Corradi had the idea at the beginning of the 1960s to revive the Vino Nobile and to produce a wine worthy of the great name. While Poderi Boscarelli's first own wine production in 1967 consisted of just 2,000 bottles, today the Nobile alone accounts for around half of the total output of around 100,000 bottles. With the same enthusiasm for viticulture and an equally great love for Tuscany as the founder of the estate, Paola de Ferrari Corradi, Egidio's daughter, and her two sons Nicolò and Luca continue the work in the family business today. While Nicolò, who originally wanted to become an architect, primarily takes care of the vineyards and the cellar, Luca is mainly responsible for the operative business and the interaction. The small estate is located in Cervognano, picturesquely between Montepulciano and Valdichiana, on a hill about 300 meters high and is probably the best address for Sangiovese wines in the entire Montepulciano area.
In the vineyards cultivated uncompromisingly by the winegrowing family, the slopes planted with vines face southeast towards Valdichiana. On permeable alluvial soils, consisting of sand, gravel and sea sediments as well as a little clay, four other autochthonous grape varieties thrive in addition to the outstanding Tuscan parade variety (80 percent share) with Canaiolo, Colorino, Malvasia Nera and Mammolo. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah round off the red wine portfolio as international varieties. After the replanting of the vineyards was completed at the end of the 1980s, the average density in the vineyards was between 6,000 and 7,000 vines per hectare. The yield per vine is deliberately kept low at 1.5 kilograms of grapes.
Wild yeasts from our own vineyards are used for vinification. The ageing of the wines takes place temperature-controlled mostly in small oak barrels. The Vino Nobile from Poderi Boscarelli convince with a very high stylistic consistency. They are elegant and distinguished by finesse. The landowners have a poetic formula ready for their most important plants: the Nobile speaks, the Riserva calls, the Nocio whispers. The quality of the other wines from the company advised by oenologist Maurizio Castelli is also convincing. The following applies to all wines: in their youth often bulky and closed, they elude the fashion dictate of fast enjoyment. In addition to the wines, the estate also distills a grappa made from Vino Nobile pomace and produces extra virgin olive oil. SUPERIORE.DE
"A cellar in which we constantly invest in improvements, local grapes and yeasts, wisdom and passion, these are the characteristics of the house, which can count on a large following among the friends of Tuscan wines." GAMBERO ROSSO
