Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that whispers the secrets of Tuscany, an authentic expression of its terroir. This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019 from La Braccesca is a meeting of strength and elegance, a promise of a sensory journey to the heart of Italy.
We are here in the splendid region of Montepulciano, in Tuscany, a blessed place where the Sangiovese grape, locally called Prugnolo Gentile, reigns supreme. The La Braccesca estate, located at Località Santa Pia, is a historic player in this prestigious appellation. This wine is mainly made from this noble Sangiovese, complemented by a small proportion of Merlot, bringing a touch of roundness and suppleness to the whole.
To the eye, you will be charmed by its deep and luminous color. On the nose, this 2019 vintage reveals a harmonious bouquet of ripe red fruits, enriched with spicy and vanilla notes, evolving towards balsamic and tobacco touches after aeration. The vinification is careful: a fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature (26-28°C) followed by a maceration of about 20 days. The malolactic fermentation takes place in tonneaux, where the wine then spends 12 to 18 months before bottle aging, giving it its complexity and structure. On the palate, you will discover a remarkable balance between body and acidity, with well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish, never aggressive, which will irresistibly invite you to a second glass.
This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a choice ally for your meals. It pairs wonderfully well with roasts, braised meats, game and aged cheeses. Imagine it alongside a savory meat dish or a mushroom-based preparation. I advise you to decant it with sufficient lead time for special occasions and to serve it slightly cool compared to room temperature in order to bring out all its aromas. But do not hesitate to savor it on its own as well, as a wine for meditation, to fully appreciate its richness and personality. It is a true invitation to conviviality and sharing, a wine that will leave a lasting impression.
