La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2022
Montepulciano, Tuscany, Italy
Produced by La Braccesca, part of the historic Marchesi Antinori portfolio, this wine is a classic expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Crafted primarily from Prugnolo Gentile (Sangiovese), it combines Tuscan elegance, structure, and approachability.
A refined, medium-to-full-bodied Tuscan red with balance and poise. Elegant rather than powerful, showcasing bright fruit, fresh acidity, and polished tannins in a traditional yet modern style.
Appearance:
Bright ruby red with youthful purple highlights.
Nose:
Fresh and expressive. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and plum are layered with notes of violet, dried herbs, subtle spice, and a hint of cedar.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and well-structured. Flavours of ripe red berries, sour cherry, and plum are supported by fine-grained tannins and lively acidity. Subtle notes of tobacco, leather, and gentle oak add depth without overshadowing the fruit.
Finish:
Clean, elegant, and persistent, with lingering red fruit, savoury notes, and soft spice.
A warm Tuscan vintage producing wines with ripe fruit and supple textures. Careful vineyard management preserved freshness and balance, resulting in approachable yet well-structured wines.
