Prugnolo Gentile – is the name given to Sangiovese in Montepulciano. And mammolo simply means violet in Italian. Anyone who knows the aromas of this wine will understand why the Corradi-De Ferrari family uses both: 85% Prugnolo Gentile for freshness and fruit, 15% Mammolo for the floral perfume that makes this Rosso unmistakable. Boscarelli has been producing Prugnolo as Rosso di Montepulciano since 1989 – from the youngest, most fragrant vines in the Cervognano cru vineyard at 280 to 350 metres, on calcareous alluvial soil with sand, silt and clay. Organic cultivation. Hand-picked in crates, selection at the sorting table, natural yeast fermentation in steel, 6 months maturation in glazed cement tanks.

Intense ruby red colour. Rose, violets, marasca, spices and a hint of liquorice on the nose. Fresh and fruity on the palate, with a good body and a pleasantly long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, light ruby red with purple-coloured tendencies. Very fresh and fragrant on the nose, of crunchy morello cherries, lilies and some marzipan. Also fresh on the palate, with crisp acidity and fruit, medium-bodied." Falstaff

"Smoky cherry, raspberry, iron and wild herb flavors align with a supple texture in this inviting red. Balanced, with accents of earth on the lightly astringent finish. Food and a few months in bottle will smooth the edges." Wine Spectator

"The 2024 Rosso di Montepulciano Prugnolo presents cedary spices, candied strawberry and hints of rosemary. It's juicy and round with bright red berry fruits and crisp mineral tones elevated by zesty acidity. It finishes with excellent length and potency but still lively, with sweet inner violet tones. The 2024 is all pleasure." Vinous
