2022 Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

The 2022 Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a classic expression of Tuscan Sangiovese, crafted by one of the appellation’s most respected family estates. This is a refined yet characterful red that balances vibrant fruit with aromatic complexity and a distinct sense of place. For those who enjoy Brunello and Chianti Classico, Boscarelli’s Vino Nobile offers a more understated, noble take on Sangiovese with remarkable elegance and drinkability. Its unique selling point lies in the estate’s meticulous vineyard work and low-intervention winemaking, which consistently produce wines of precision and finesse rather than raw power. Boscarelli helped elevate Vino Nobile di Montepulciano’s reputation from rustic country red to serious fine wine, and this 2022 vintage continues that legacy with a modern, fresh, and beautifully detailed style.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2022 Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano shows a luminous medium ruby core with garnet highlights at the rim, hinting at both youth and classic Sangiovese transparency. The nose opens with pure red cherry and wild strawberry, followed by notes of dried rose petals, violet, and a touch of Tuscan herb—rosemary, thyme, and a gentle balsamic lift. Subtle layers of spice (white pepper, clove), cedar, and a hint of tobacco reflect its time in oak without ever dominating the fruit. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied, poised, and finely structured, with lively acidity and polished tannins that frame the fruit rather than overwhelm it. Flavors of sour cherry, red plum, and blood orange are intertwined with savory notes of leather, tea leaf, and dried Mediterranean herbs. A mineral, almost saline edge gives tension and length, leading into a persistent, elegant finish. The 2022 is approachable in its youth but has the structure to develop further nuance over the next 8–12 years, gaining more tertiary notes of dried fruit, leather, and forest floor with careful cellaring.

Production
Boscarelli’s vineyards are situated in the Cervognano area of Montepulciano, one of the most prized zones in the appellation, with a mix of sandy clay, silt, and mineral-rich soils that contribute to the wine’s perfume and finesse. The Vino Nobile is based primarily on Prugnolo Gentile, the local Sangiovese biotype, often complemented by small amounts of traditional Tuscan varieties such as Canaiolo, Colorino, and Mammolo to enhance color, spice, and aromatic lift. Grapes are hand-harvested parcel by parcel to ensure perfect ripeness and strict selection in the vineyard and at the sorting table. Fermentations typically take place in temperature-controlled tanks or traditional large wooden vats, with indigenous or carefully selected yeasts, followed by maceration to extract fine tannins and aromatic complexity. The wine is then aged in a combination of large Slavonian oak casks and smaller barrels for a period sufficient to meet the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG regulations, preserving freshness while adding depth, texture, and subtle spice before bottling.

Food & Serving
This Vino Nobile is a natural partner for classic Tuscan cuisine—think bistecca alla fiorentina, grilled lamb, or roasted pork with herbs and garlic. It also pairs beautifully with game birds, slow-braised beef or veal, rich tomato-based pastas, mushroom risotto, and aged hard cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano or Parmigiano Reggiano. Serve at 16–18°C to highlight its aromatic complexity and fresh acidity. Younger bottles like the 2022 benefit from 45–60 minutes in a decanter to gently open the bouquet and soften the tannins, though it can also be enjoyed after a brief splash decant just before service.

Producer
