Producer Information

Poderi Boscarelli is a Tuscan wine producer based in the village of Cervognano di Montepulciano, just east of Montepulciano proper. The estate was founded by Egidio Corradi in 1962, and today devotes the majority of its winemaking to the production of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. The estate consists of 14 hectares (35 acres) of vineyards planted to approximately 80 percent Sangiovese, with the remaining 20 percent dedicated to native grape varieties including Canaiolo, Colorino and Mammolo, as well as the internationally recognized Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grape varieties. Poderi Boscarelli also holds a two-hectare (five-acre) vineyard planted to Merlot in the small wine producing region of Cortona, 30km (20 miles) northeast of Montepulciano. The estate produced its first vintage of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano in 1968, and today makes approximately 50,000 bottles of this wine per year. The grapes are hand-harvested from vines that are planted in sandy, mineral-rich soils. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wine has a characteristic blend of 85 percent Sangiovese, with smaller quantities of Colorino, Canaiolo and Mammolo. These grapes are fermented with natural yeasts and the wine aged in Allier or Slavonian oak casks for 18-24 months. The original Vino Nobile di Montepulciano wine is now complemented by several single-vineyard and riserva expressions. The estate’s wine portfolio has been further bolstered with the production of a single Rosso di Montepulciano, a 100 percent Merlot Cortona and two red wines under the IGT Toscana designation. In addition, Poderi Boscarelli makes a Vin Santo di Montepulciano and an extra virgin olive oil.
