Description
Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG “Il Nocio” by Poderi Boscarelli is far more than a premium wine: it is a Tuscan icon, a cult single-vineyard bottling that redefines the heights of elegance. The jewel in the estate’s crown, this masterpiece originates from the historic “Vigna del Nocio”, a 4-hectare parcel nestled in the eastern sector of the property and terraced between 280 and 350 meters above sea level.
The true magic behind this label lies in decades of obsessive micro-management. Since 1991, the estate has carried out meticulous parcel selections of Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile) within the vineyard, matching specific clones to their ideal soil and microclimate profile. This uncompromising precision results in an exclusive, limited production averaging just 5,000 bottles per year, making each vintage a rare and highly coveted treasure.
Il Nocio achieves the ultimate winemaking trifecta: it blends majestic complexity and a legendary aging potential with the sublime elegance and crisp fragrance of pure Prugnolo Gentile. The nose unfolds an aristocratic bouquet of wild cherry, violet, damp earth, blonde tobacco, and dark spices. On the palate, the sip is deep and precise, driven by a velvety tannic structure and a mineral freshness that lingers indefinitely. A meditative masterpiece or the ultimate companion for fine wild game, essential for the cellars of the world’s most discerning collectors.
