Description

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin Owned by Poderi Boscarelli since 1988, the "Vigna del Nocio" is located in the eastern part of the estate and extends over approximately 4 hectares at an altitude between 350 and 280 meters above sea level. Since 1991, we have been making special selections of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile in the vineyard, based on both the soil and climate conditions and the different Sangiovese clones present. We produce an average of around 5,000 bottles per year. Each combines complexity, great aging potential with the elegance and fragrance of pure Prugnolo Gentile. Soil Characteristics These alluvial soils have different structural characteristics from the rest of the estate: they feature distinct sandy and clayey areas. Grape Type and Selection: 100% Sangiovese. Careful selection in the vineyard, aimed at maximizing the expressiveness of these diverse soils, which offer different harvest times, defines the production of different pure Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile Cuvées. Vinification: After destemming and gentle pressing, the grapes are fermented in oak vats filled to no more than two-thirds of their capacity, using native yeasts. Fermentation lasts approximately 10 days at controlled temperatures of 27 to 31 degrees Celsius. Brief pumping overs are performed initially, along with manual cap punching. Maceration, in some cases, continues for another 7 to 10 days after fermentation. Aging: The individual Cuvée del Nocio are aged separately in Slavonian or French oak barrels with a capacity of 5 to 10 hl. Maturation lasts 18 to 24 months. The final blend is made at the end of maturation, using different percentages of the individual Cuvées depending on the characteristics of the harvest. The wine ages in bottle for approximately one year before being released for sale. Optimal maturity The aging potential of our Nocio is measured in decades, however the optimal ripening period we recommend varies depending on the year, in any case from the fifth year following the harvest.

Cellar

The history of the Boscarelli winery began in 1962 with a dream of founder Egidio Corradi: to produce a noble wine that would enhance the aromas and flavors of his homeland, with the elegance he loved. Born into an ancient family from Montepulciano, and with a degree in Economics and Business, Egidio spent most of his life between Genoa and Milan, working as an international broker. But in 1962, his boundless passion for wine and his profound knowledge of his homeland led him to purchase two small, semi-abandoned estates in this wonderful corner of Tuscany, Cervognano di Montepulciano. Until then, the two plots had been managed in the traditional manner: different annual crops and a small section planted with vineyards. The founder's vision was embraced and reinvigorated by his daughter Paola Corradi and her husband Ippolito De Ferrari, who in the 1960s became the architects of the creation and subsequent development of Poderi Boscarelli, driven by strong determination and profound dedication. Paola and Ippolito planted the first specialized vineyards with a density of 3,500 vines per hectare. They also built the first winery, renovating and adapting the old stables. The company's original spirit is today preserved by the third generation, represented by Luca and Nicolò De Ferrari, sons of Paola and Ippolito. Luca and Nicolò passionately dedicate themselves to production every day. They reselect and replant the vineyards so that they can continue to express the aromas and characteristics of the terroir that nourishes them, and ensure that every single bottle captures the aromas and flavors that their grandfather Egidio loved and sought. Extreme attention to cultivation and vineyard management practices has led, with gradual replanting beginning in the late 1980s, to a total of 22 hectares of vineyards with an average density of approximately 6,000–7,000 plants per hectare. Per vine, yield is approximately 1 kg of grapes.
