PRACTICING ORGANIC FARMING
"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, but can hold well in the next five to eight years, if not more." - Zekun Shuai, JAMES SUCKLING
"The 2020 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens slowly in the glass as coaxing releases a bouquet of dusty rose and woodland berries lifted by a split pine note. It's fresh and vibrant for a young Boscarelli, cascading across the palate with masses of mineral-tinged red berries and savory spice. This finishes remarkably long yet with a bump of residual acidity that nicely offsets its dusty tannins. The 2020 is surprisingly approachable yet also balanced for a steady evolution." - Eric Guido, VINOUS MEDIA
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is one of three great Sangiovese production zones in Tuscany along with Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino. The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano appellation is a fraction of the size of either which probably accounts for it being lesser known than the other two. The well-regarded Sangiovese clone, Prugnolo Gentile is used to craft this wine. The hilltop town of Montepulciano produces a wine, which combines the richness of Brunello di Montalcino with the perfume of Chianti Classico.
The very "noble" estate of Paola De Ferrari Corradi was founded in 1962 by her father. Paola’s elder sons Luca and Nicolò are now managing the vineyard. Together they make a fantastic wine, which should not be overlooked. This is a terrific example of what one can expect from this region of "noble vines." Salute!
