Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that whispers the secrets of the Tuscan hills, an authentic expression of the Montepulciano terroir. This Nobile DOCG from Antinori is much more than a bottle; it is an invitation to a sensory journey in the heart of Italy.
La Braccesca, an estate belonging to the Antinori family, is rooted in the rolling landscapes of Montepulciano, a prestigious appellation in Tuscany. It is here, on these generous lands, that the Prugnolo Gentile grape, a local variety of Sangiovese, flourishes fully. The 2021 vintage of this Nobile di Montepulciano is the result of careful vinification, with fermentation in steel tanks followed by extended maceration, allowing all the richness of the grape to be extracted.
When you pour this wine, its deep ruby red color catches the light, already promising beautiful complexity. On the nose, I perceive an intense and complex bouquet where ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, mingle with delicate notes of vanilla and spices, a legacy of its aging in wood. On the palate, this Nobile offers a solid and harmonious structure, a perfect balance between acidity and tannins. Its lively freshness extends the pleasure to a long and elegant finish. It has aged for a minimum of two years, including at least one year in wooden barrels, which gives it its complexity and its ability to evolve over time.
This Nobile di Montepulciano is an ideal companion for the robust dishes of Italian cuisine. Imagine it alongside a bistecca alla fiorentina, a game dish, or a platter of aged cheeses. Its richness and structure will pair wonderfully with these intense flavors. I recommend it for a special evening, a dinner with friends, or simply for a moment of meditation when you wish to be carried away by the depth of a great Tuscan wine.
