James Suckling
A solid red with juicy fruit, plenty of cherry and light balsamic character. Full and chewy. Bright acidity. A solid, well-made Vino Nobile.

Wine Enthusiast
Wild berry, dark culinary spice, purple flower and a whiff of aromatic herb are some of the aromas you'll find on this vibrant red. The elegant medium-bodied palate shows pomegranate, tart cherry, clove and star anise alongside bright acidity and polished tannins. Drink over the next several years.

Wine Spectator
Bright, evoking cherry, floral and mineral flavors. Light-bodied and elegant, yet with ample grip from tannins and acidity. Drink now through 2023.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Stylistically speaking, this wine stands apart from its peers. It shows a deep inner core of dark fruit that is solid and compact. The 2014 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from Boscarelli is recommended to anyone curious to taste this historic Tuscan appellation. The fruit here is bright and vibrant. The wine offers ample depth and volume.

Wine & Spirits
This wine shows good ripeness despite the cool, rainy vintage, but it’s tightly structured and austere at first. It begins to flesh out with exposure to air, showing hints of nutmeg and black pepper that complement the pure black-cherry fruit, the flavors riding on a wave of brisk acidity. Give it a couple of years to unwind.

Among Italy's elite red grape varieties, Sangiovese has the perfect intersection of bright red fruit and savory earthiness and is responsible for the best red wines of Tuscany. While it is best known as the chief component of Chianti, it is also the main grape in Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and reaches the height of its power and intensity in the complex, long-lived Brunello di Montalcino. Somm Secret—Sangiovese doubles under the alias, Nielluccio, on the French island of Corsica where it produces distinctly floral and refreshing reds and rosés.
This significant Tuscan village—not to be confused with the red grape of the same name widely grown in Abruzzo and the Marche regions—was home to one of the first four Italian DOCGs granted in 1980.
Based on the Sangiovese grape (here called Prugnolo Gentile), the village’s prized wine called Vino Nobile di Montepulciano ranks stylistically in between Chianti Classico, for its finesse, and Brunello di Montalcino for its power. With a deep ruby color, heavy concentration and a firm structure given by the village's heavy, cool clay soils, most Vino Nobile di Montepulciano will demand some bottle age.
