1992 was the last vintage of Boscarelli's first Riserva era. This was followed by a break of almost two decades – this was not a period of inactivity, but a lot of work and research: replanting the historic vineyards, selecting clones, researching the climatic variations of the Cervognano terroir. It was not until 2010, when the young vines of the autochthonous new plantings first showed the complexity that had been awaited, that the Riserva returned. Just like in the 1970s and 80s: exclusively from indigenous grape varieties. Prugnolo Gentile and Colorino. Vines over 20 years old from the historic core of the Boscarelli vineyards in Cervognano – calcareous, alluvial sandy soils with silt, clay, minerals and a rich stone skeleton that varies depending on the location and altitude. 6,500 vines per hectare.

Deep ruby red colour. Cherry, marasca, tobacco, spices and a hint of liquorice on the nose – complex and of great purity. Elegant and structured on the palate, with fine tannins, balanced freshness and a long, spicy final. 2021 in Montepulciano – a classic vintage for a classic Riserva. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pointed bouquet with notes of red berries and flowers, undergrowth and spices; juicy style, beautiful polish, the tannins robust, supported by a well-integrated, firm acidity, very long." Vinum

"This restrained and minerally wine has subtle red cherry and elegant purple candy flavours with deep liquorice. Crisp and almost acidic on the attack, but balanced by supple fruit and velvety, well-crafted tannins. Powerful and exciting finish with cherry stones." James Suckling

"A masterful, multi-layered olfactory gem that offers blackberries, citrus and walnut shells. The sip is adorned by fine tannins and a compact substance with a deep, long-lasting and graceful sorption. The winery in Cervognano, acquired in 1962, has around 22 hectares of vineyards and is managed with great skill by the De Ferrari family." Decanter

"This wine is firm and savoury, with aromas and flavours of black cherries, blackberries, tar, eucalyptus and iron. It has a fluid nature, but also dense, mouth-coating tannins that promise longevity. The complex finish is long and fresh." Wine Spectator
