“Ripe, yet refined in profile and texture, this red displays cherry, strawberry, rose and mineral flavors. Firms up on the finish, showing overall balance and fine length. Best from 2019 through 2032. 250 cases made” –BS, Wine Spectator, Apr. 30, 2018

“A chewy version, with concentrated flavors of blackberry, plum and earth, backed by fresh acidity, this turns leaner and more tightly wound as it plays out on the sage- and rosemary-accented finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2019 through 2027. 1,600 cases made.” –BS, Wine Spectator, Apr. 30, 2018

“A well-balanced, medium-bodied red, with refined tannins married to flavors of crushed black cherry, Earl Grey tea, smoky mineral and dried fig. Lightly juicy on the lingering, spiced finish. Drink now through 2023. 5,000 cases made.” –AN, Wine Spectator, Apr. 2018

“Impressive complexity and fruit presence on the nose with ripe, spiced red plums, cherries and fresh cedary oak, leading to a palate with some handy weight. Good flow of fruit and tannins that carry the finish long. Try from 2022.” – James Suckling, Apr. 1, 2018

“Light, bright poached strawberries with blood oranges. There are also sweetly herbal accents and upbeat oak leading to a palate with a crunchy texture. Fluid, smooth build into the finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Apr. 1, 2018

“The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio is powerful and deep, with quite a bit of tannic spine lurking beneath. Wild cherry, game, smoke, chalk, white pepper and sage are some of the many notes that give the 2013 its aromatically bright and lifted profile. The 2013 is a bit light on the palate, but it makes up for that with its superb persistence. All the elements are very nicely balanced in this deceptively mid-weight Vino Nobile.” – Antonio Galloni, VInous, Apr. 20181

“The attractive spiced maraschino and red cherries with sweet earthy notes make a classic impression. Quite an assertive tannin chew and a succulent surging acid-fueled finish. Handy wine, which is nicely interpreted. Try from 2022.” – James Suckling, Apr. 1, 2018

Cellar Selection “Made entirely with Sangiovese, this full-bodied red opens with aromas of wild berry, exotic spice, aromatic herb and a whiff of fragrant blue flower. It’s elegant and structured, with a youthful tension that underscores juicy wild cherry, raspberry compote, cinnamon and a hint of pipe tobacco. Fresh acidity lends balance while fine-grained tannins provide polished support. It’s already tempting but will develop even more complexity with cellaring. Drink 2018-2033.”  -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Apr. 2018

“Ripe red cherries with roses and some sweetly spicy oak. A hint of orange peel, too. The palate has a fine thread of tannins and a core of chalky, fresh red plums. Try from 2020.” – James Suckling, Apr. 1, 2018

“Boscarelli’s 2014 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano speaks with a sense of power and gravitas, even in this challenging vintage. Although the 2014 is not as naturally deep as it is in most vintages, the 2014 nevertheless manages to convey the essence of the house style. Wild cherry, grilled herb, anise, menthol and dried rose petal lead into the potent finish in this super-expressive, yet distinctly mid-weight Vino Nobile.” – Antonio Galloni, VInous, Apr. 20181
