| Wine Description | Located on the east side of the estate, Vigna del Nocio has been owned by Poderi Boscarelli since since 1988. It covers about two hectares at an altitude ranging between 310 meters to 350 meters above sea level. Different types of Sangiovese vines have been nurtured by the soil and climate to produce special selections of Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile since 1991. The wine combines complexity and great ageing potential with elegance and fragrance. |

| Highest Score | 97, Wine Spectator |
|---|---|
| Highest Score Review Copy | Macerated cherry, strawberry, pomegranate and sweet spice flavors are allied to a silky texture in this sleek, powerful red. Underscored by muscular tannins, with ample fruit for balance. The superb, complex aftertaste picks up mineral and wild herb elements. Still youthful, this appears to be a long-distance runner. |
