Winemaking process:
The grapes come from Boscarelli's vineyards at Cervognano, on the eastern slopes of Montepulciano. After a short fermentation with native yeasts, the wine matures for around 18–24 months in French and Slavonian oak barrels of various sizes. First made in 1968, this is the estate's oldest Vino Nobile label, and its style has barely changed since.
Interesting notes:
Boscarelli's oldest Vino Nobile label, first produced in 1968; its blend and aging approach have remained largely unchanged
