Tasting notes
The Boscarelli 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva has a lovely sense of richness that makes an impact but remains graceful on the senses throughout. The wine sports dark fruit, black cherry, spice, tar and a touch of sweet tobacco. The blend is 88% Sangiovese and 12% Colorino all aged in tonneaux and botti. Only 6,500 bottles were created.

A camphor hint pleasantly lifts depths of herbal-tinged blackberries, plums and savory spice as the 2018 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva opens in the glass. This is silky and elegant yet also cool-toned in feel, with ripe black fruits and a subtle touch of sour citrus that adds gravitas. It’s lightly structured through the purple-tinged finale, tapering off with chalky tannins that frame the expression nicely. Give the Riserva a short stay in the cellar to come fully into focus. With that said, as enjoyable and balanced as this is, I don't expect it to make old bones. The Boscarelli Riserva is a classic blend of 85% Sangiovese and a 15% balance of Colorino, Canaiolo and Mammolo.
