The wine

Rosso di Montalcino Boscarelli: Prugnolo, the soul of Tuscany

I invite you to discover a gem, a wine that whispers the history of Montalcino. Boscarelli's "Prugnolo" is not just a Rosso di Montalcino, it is an encounter with the authenticity of a terroir and the passion of an estate.

Montalcino: An exceptional terroir, respected tradition

Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, Montalcino is a blessed land for viticulture. The Boscarelli estate, renowned for its pursuit of quality and respect for traditions, cultivates Sangiovese Prugnolo Gentile there with particular care. The vineyards, located on the surrounding hills, benefit from an ideal climate and varied soils, ranging from clay to limestone, offering perfect conditions for the maturation of this emblematic grape variety.

This wine is the fruit of a meticulous selection of the best grapes, harvested by hand. The vinification emphasizes freshness and the expression of fruit: after harvest, the grapes ferment in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. An aging of 6 to 12 months in barrel then adds complexity to this Rosso, without ever masking its natural liveliness. You will discover a bright and inviting ruby red color. On the nose, a rich and complex bouquet presents itself to you, dominated by notes of red and black fruits such as cherry, blackberry and plum, enriched with floral, spicy nuances and a light balsamic touch. On the palate, this wine offers a balanced and intense experience, with soft and well-structured tannins that accompany the flavors of ripe fruit. The acidity is nicely balanced, bringing a sensation of freshness and lovely drinkability. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of the fruity and spicy notes perceived on the nose.

Gourmet pairings: The "Prugnolo" at your table

This Rosso di Montalcino is an ideal companion for Tuscan cuisine. Imagine it alongside red meats, such as a savory bistecca alla fiorentina. It also pairs wonderfully with fine charcuterie (salumi) or medium-aged cheeses (formaggi mediamente stagionati). It is the perfect wine for a convivial dinner among friends, an evening when you wish to share a bit of the Tuscan soul. Let yourself be carried away by the elegance and complexity of this Sangiovese, a true tribute to Boscarelli's know-how and the richness of its terroir.

Boscarelli's Prugnolo Gentile ferments in steel tanks, then spends 6 to 12 months in barrel: just enough to gain complexity without losing its freshness. If you are looking for a Montalcino that keeps its edge, this is a clever lead.
