Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Boscarelli's approach to Vino Nobile remains the creation of an ideal of a wine that combines freshness, elegance, complexity and great aging potential. Deep ruby with garnet hues, this wine has a lovely nose of dried herbs, leather, earth, vanilla, violets, iris, and strawberry. There is flavorful fruit on a palate made supple and appealing by the silky tannins and a black cherry finish.

Can be enjoyed both with rich dishes such as grilled, roasted or braised red meat, game dishes, and seasoned cheeses.

Professional Ratings

92 James Suckling
A solid red with juicy fruit, plenty of cherry and light balsamic character. Full and chewy. Bright acidity. A solid, well-made Vino Nobile.
91 Wine Enthusiast
Wild berry, dark culinary spice, purple flower and a whiff of aromatic herb are some of the aromas you'll find on this vibrant red. The elegant medium-bodied palate shows pomegranate, tart cherry, clove and star anise alongside bright acidity and polished tannins. Drink over the next several years.
90 Wine Spectator
Bright, evoking cherry, floral and mineral flavors. Light-bodied and elegant, yet with ample grip from tannins and acidity. Drink now through 2023.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Stylistically speaking, this wine stands apart from its peers. It shows a deep inner core of dark fruit that is solid and compact. The 2014 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Boscarelli is recommended to anyone curious to taste this historic Tuscan appellation. The fruit here is bright and vibrant. The wine offers ample depth and volume.
90 Wine & Spirits
This wine shows good ripeness despite the cool, rainy vintage, but it’s tightly structured and austere at first. It begins to flesh out with exposure to air, showing hints of nutmeg and black pepper that complement the pure black-cherry fruit, the flavors riding on a wave of brisk acidity. Give it a couple of years to unwind.

The medieval hill town of Montepulciano is a little east of Montalcino, dominating the gentle landscape of southern Tuscany from its 1,985 feet above sea level. It is a tiny architectural jewel, with a higher density of arts per acre than there are inhabitants, and a long-standing fame as the home of poets and wines... The former thrived in Renaissance times; the latter star Vino Nobile, which luckily for us all is alive and flourishing to this day. The very "nobile" estate of Paola De Ferrari Corradi (founded in 1962; first Vino Nobile vintage: 1967) is located southeast of Montepulciano (facing the Valdichiana) on one of the area's finest, most historical crus, Cervognano, well known for its hallmark combination of elegance and power. In the course of over four decades of winemaking excellence, Paola (flanked by sons Luca and Nicolò) has chosen the hard way: absolute rigor and loyalty to quality & terroir. This resulted in an unbroken track record of vintage-to-vintage consistency. If anyone can pinpoint just one property that led the way to making Vino Nobile a modern classic, that property is, without a doubt, Boscarelli. Today, the latter includes 44.5 acres under vine at an elevation of 984 feet above sea level on the Cervognano hillside. Microclimate is well-ventilated and ideal for top quality Nobiles. Soil is alluvial in origin, very sandy and stony, conducive to good drainage and remarkable elegance in the resulting wine. Further acreage is in the pipeline, for Paola purchased a second homestead in Cortona, several miles northeast of Montepulciano. The long-term plan is to bring this second property's vineyard surface to 25 acres - over and above the original nucleus.

Sangiovese Wine

View all products

Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.

Montepulciano Wine

Tuscany, Italy

View all products

This significant Tuscan village—not to be confused with the red grape of the same name widely grown in Abruzzo and the Marche regions—was home to one of the first four Italian DOCGs granted in 1980.

Based on the Sangiovese grape (here called Prugnolo Gentile), the village’s prized wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ranks stylistically in between Chianti Classico, for its finesse, and Brunello di Montalcino for its power. With a deep ruby color, heavy concentration and a firm structure given by the village's heavy, cool clay soils, most Vino Nobile di Montepulciano will demand some bottle age.
