Boscarelli Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano tends to get overshadowed by its Tuscan neighbors Brunello and Chianti — and Boscarelli is exactly why that’s a mistake. This small family estate in Cervognano has spent decades making some of the appellation’s most refined, ageworthy Sangiovese. The 2021 is all elegance: perfumed, savory, and structured, with fine tannins that reward a few years in the cellar or a big Sunday roast tonight. Proof that ‘the other Tuscan Sangiovese’ can go toe to toe with the famous ones.
