Boscarelli
Tuscany (Italy)
The story began in 1962 with founder Egidio Corradi’s dream of producing a noble wine that exalts the aromas and flavors of his native land while imparting the elegance he loved. Born into an old Poliziana family in the Montepulciano, he spent most of his life working as an broker. But his infinite passion for wine and deep knowledge of his home region induced him to buy two semi-abandoned small farms in Cervognano of Montepulciano, a stunning corner of old Etruscan Tuscany. Egidio’s dream and vision were embraced and invigorated by his daughter Paola and her husband Ippolito De Ferrari. Driven by their strong determination and dedication, they started Poderi Boscarelli in the ’60s. The development that followed brought renewed life to the age-old farming estate as Paola and Ippolito planted their first specialized vineyards at a density of 3,500 plants per hectare. They also built the first winery by renovating and adapting old stables.

PRUGNOLO ROSSO DI MONTEPULCIANO 2019
TASTING NOTE
Our Prugnolo is a wine in which we try to enhance the freshness of the fruity notes of Sangiovese combined with spicing from the Mammolo variety. It is produced by selecting grapes from young vines with the richest perfumes and less-mature structure. In search of pleasure, we are careful not to fall into banality. Produced since 1989 as Rosso di Montepulciano, the vintage has worn the current label since 2003.

MERLOT CORTONA 2015
TASTING NOTE
The aim of this wine is to enhance the fresh and fruity aromas of its 100% Merlot composition. The grapes are picked manually and after de-stemming and soft pressing, are fermented using indigenous yeast in steel vats. The fermentation process lasts about a week at controlled temperatures from 28 to 30 degrees. The wine matures for several months in vitrified cement vats. Our Merlot Cortona is a wine with a fruity and floral freshness.

VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO 2015
TASTING NOTE
This is our older label of Vino Nobile and the most representative of our work philosophy. Since its first vintage in 1968, it has continued to represent almost half of our total production. Its composition and aging have remained largely unchanged and today we produce about 50,000 bottles yearly with this label. Our approach to Vino Nobile remains the creation of an ideal of a wine that combines freshness, elegance, complexity and great aging potential.

VINO NOBILE DI MONTEPULCIANO RISERVA 2016
TASTING NOTE
Robert Parker, “The 2016 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is based on Sangiovese but sees a tiny bit of Colorino added to the blend. Aged longer than a classic Vino Nobile, this Riserva is elegant and fine. The primary fruit is neatly folded into the wine’s savory aromas of spice, leather and toasted nut. The bouquet is on the neutral side, but the basics are all there. Ultimately, you get good balance here and a well-rounded Tuscan red that is well suited to roasted lamb or pork..”
