The wine

La Braccesca: The Soul of the Nobile di Montepulciano 2022

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where history and the vine intertwine. I'm taking you to discover a wine that embodies this encounter: the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2022 from La Braccesca. It is an invitation to a sensory journey, a moment of softness and character.

The Terroir of Montepulciano, the Heritage of La Braccesca

It is in the heart of the Montepulciano region, in the localities of Cervognano, Santa Pia and Gracciano, that La Braccesca weaves the story of this wine. This estate, deeply rooted in Tuscan tradition, carefully cultivates Prugnolo Gentile, the king grape variety of the appellation, which makes up 90% of the blend. The remaining 10% is provided by Merlot, adding a touch of roundness and complexity. This 2022 vintage is the result of a maceration of about ten days, followed by malolactic fermentation in large barrels, a method that respects the pure expression of the fruit.

From the very first glance, this Nobile reveals itself in an intense ruby robe, a promise of great depth. On the nose, I perceive a fruity bouquet, dominated by notes of cherry and strawberry, elegantly lifted by touches of vanilla and violet, a balanced and inviting aromatic profile. On the palate, it offers a harmonious structure, where the tannins are well integrated, without aggressiveness, and the persistence is pleasant. This wine aged twelve months in large barrels, then about twelve additional months in the bottle, thus refining its character and finesse.

An Ideal Companion for Your Tuscan Table

This Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is a true gastronomic chameleon. I warmly recommend it with red meats, whether grilled or in sauce, roasts or even game. It will also pair wonderfully well with aged cheeses, highlighting their flavors without overpowering them. Imagine it accompanying dishes from the Italian tradition, preparations with mushrooms or robust sauces. It is the perfect wine for a convivial evening among friends, an opportunity to share authentic flavors and create memorable memories. Feel free to serve it at a moderate temperature, and a brief aeration before tasting will reveal all the richness of its aromas.

Prugnolo Gentile softened by a touch of Merlot is the archetype of the great Tuscan red made for a well-simmered wild boar stew or a nicely aged pecorino! Just remember to open it about an hour before sitting down at the table to let its cherry aromas open up.
