Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG La Braccesca 2017 Marchesi Antinori
Data sheet
Description
The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano La Braccesca dei Marchesi Antinori was born in the homonymous estate, located on the Sienese hills.
It is mainly produced with Prugnolo Gentile and Merlot grapes, harvested between the end of September and the beginning of October. After destemming and crushing, the wine remains in contact with the skins for about 15 days and, with the end of alcoholic fermentation, it is introduced into large oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and a 12 month aging period. Once bottled, it is further refined for about 12 months.
La Braccesca is a ruby red wine. The nose expresses hints of red fruit and spices, with sweet notes of tobacco that blend on the palate with shades of cherry and black currant. Great minerality and a well balanced tannic setting accompany the tasting, leaving room for a long and tasty finish.
Ideal in combination with savory first courses based on meat sauce, this wine is perfect to accompany red and roasted meats.
