Description

Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin This is our oldest Vino Nobile label, the one most representative and emblematic of our work philosophy. Since its first release in 1968, it has always accounted for approximately half of our production; its composition and aging process have remained essentially unchanged, and today approximately 50,000 bottles are produced. Our Vino Nobile combines freshness, elegance, complexity, and great aging potential. Soil Characteristics Most of our vineyards in Cervognano are planted on calcareous, alluvial, sandy soils, with a good percentage of silt, clay, and stony ground that varies according to the position and altitude of the vineyards. The average planting density is 6,500 vines per hectare. Grape Type and Selection Vino Nobile is produced with selected grapes from vineyards at least 10 years old, primarily planted on red, sandy, and mineral soils, which give the wine plenty of character and excellent aging potential. The grape varieties that contribute to the composition of Vino Nobile are: 85% Sangiovese, Prugnolo Gentile, 15% Colorino, Canaiolo, and Mammolo. Vinification: The grapes, harvested by hand and transported in crates, are destemmed and gently pressed. They are then fermented in oak or stainless steel vats filled to no more than two-thirds of their capacity. Fermentation, carried out with native yeasts, lasts approximately one week at a controlled temperature of 28 to 30 degrees Celsius. Manual pumping over and punching down of the cap are performed. Maceration continues, if necessary, for an additional 5 to 8 days after fermentation. Aging: Vino Nobile is aged in Allier and Slavonian oak barrels ranging in capacity from 5 to 35 hl, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. Maturation lasts 18 to 24 months. Before bottling, a light filtration is performed, if necessary. The wine is then aged in the bottle for several months before being released for sale. Optimal maturity: Our Nobile has a potential aging potential of several decades, but the optimal maturation period we recommend varies, depending on the vintage, from the fifth to the eighth year after 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.
