The wine

La Braccesca: The Noble Soul of Montepulciano

I invite you to discover a gem that embodies Tuscan elegance, a wine that whispers the history of its land. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from La Braccesca is more than a bottle, it is a promise of a sensory journey to the heart of authentic Tuscany.

The Terroir of Siena, the Antinori Legacy

Nestled in the Sienese hills, the La Braccesca estate, property of the famous Antinori family, is a major player in the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano appellation. It is here, on these blessed lands, that Prugnolo Gentile, a local clone of Sangiovese, reigns supreme, making up 90% of the blend, complemented by 10% Merlot. This subtle marriage gives birth to a wine of great personality, a reflection of its terroir.

To the eye, this wine reveals an intense color, a promise of a rich tasting. On the nose, you will be charmed by a complex and harmonious bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits delicately mingle with wafts of violet, enhanced by spicy and balsamic touches, which invite contemplation. On the palate, it reveals a recognizable body, with present but perfectly calibrated tannins, offering remarkable balance. Traditional fermentation and 12 months of aging in wood, followed by 12 months in bottle, give it a structure and complexity that will not fail to seduce you.

An Ideal Companion for the Tuscan Table

This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is the ideal partner for moments of sharing and convivial meals. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, flavorful roasts, or game, whose flavors it will sublimate. It will also pair wonderfully with a selection of aged cheeses, revealing all its depth. Do not hesitate to decant it for a few moments before serving so that it can fully express its bouquet. It is an invitation to generosity, a wine that celebrates the Tuscan art of living.

A little tip from Tosco: with its 90 % Prugnolo Gentile and its touch of Merlot, this Vino Nobile has the ideal profile to stand up to a roast or game. Also keep a well-aged cheese on hand to extend the feast!
