"Black cherry, bark, cedar and orange peel aromas follow through to a medium body with juicy tannins that give a crunchy and lightly chewy texture. Some orange peel with cherry and berry undertones. Needs another two or three years to soften, but it’s already impressive and finely structured."
95 points. James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com (May 2024)
The "Sotto Casa" Riserva has been produced since vintage 2011 and it's the natural development of the Boscarelli Vino Nobile Riserva "black label", with the idea of harmonizing the elegance, character and freshness of Sangiovese, with the tannic texture, the structure and the fullness of two international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This Vino Nobile is a cru, so the grapes come only from an historical vineyard - "Sotto Casa".
The potential ageing of this Riserva is a few decades, but the optimum maturation period recommended varies, depending on the vintages, from five to ten years after harvest.
