Description
Il Nocio Nobile di Montepulciano Boscarelli, comes from a single vineyard called Vigneto del Nocio, on vines that are almost 50 years old, placed on soils of alluvial origin, with a good percentage of sand, silt and clay. Vineyard owned since 1988, it is located in the eastern part of the estate and extends over about 4 hectares at an altitude between 350 m and 280 m above sea level. Since 1991, special selections of Prugnolo Gentile have been made in the vineyard, based both on the soil and climate situation and on the different clones of Prugnolo Gentile present.
Vinification
After destemming and soft crushing, the grapes are fermented in oak vats filled to no more than two thirds of their capacity, using indigenous yeasts. Fermentation lasts about 10 days at controlled temperatures of 27 to 31 degrees. Short pumpovers are carried out in the initial phase and manual punching-down of the cap. Maceration in some cases continues for a further 7 to 10 days after fermentation.
Refinement
The individual cultivars of Nocio are matured separately in Slavonian or French oak barrels with capacities ranging from 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 Cultivars depending on the characteristics of the harvest. The wine matures in the bottle for approximately one year before release.

Sommelier Suggestion | We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow the wine to aerate to awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years. |
Tasting Notes | In the glass it is a brilliant ruby red colour. The nose is a kaleidoscope of aromatic notes, red pulp fruit even under spirits, ethereal, sensations of undergrowth with intriguing tones of leather and spices. In the mouth it is imperial, with a rich and energetic drink, ripe and well-integrated tannins and this gratifying freshness that makes it all the more satisfying. Long persistence. |
Pairing Advice | |
Pairing | Easily paired with important and structured red meat and game dishes. Try it with matured or blue cheese. Excellent as a meditation wine. |
