Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Selezione “Il Nocio” DOCG 2018

La Vigna del Nocio is a Cru of approximately 4 hectares between 280 and 350 m above sea level, belonging to Poderi Boscarelli since 1988 and located in the eastern area of ​​the estate. The grapes ferment with native yeasts in oak vats filled to no more than two thirds of their capacity, at a controlled temperature of 27/31 degrees for approximately 10 days. The cap is manually pumped over and punched down, and once fermentation is over, maceration can continue for another 7/10 days. Each parcel thus obtained ages separately in Slavonian or French oak barrels of 5 to 10 hl depending on the individual characteristics. Here the wines mature for 18/24 months, until the final blend, the percentages of which change depending on the characteristics of the vintage. Aged for one year in the bottle before marketing.

At sight, ruby ​​red in color with garnet reflections. On the nose a rich and complex bouquet, with floral nuances, medicinal herbs, undergrowth and leather, on a harmonious background of small red berries. The sip is intense, with a dense but elegant tannic texture, which gives the sip density and depth. The finish is long, fresh and harmonious.

First courses with meat sauce, hearty stews and grilled meats; mushroom dishes, mature cheeses.
