Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Riserva La Braccesca Santa Pia 2013 Marchesi Antinori

The Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Santa Pia The Braccesca of the Marchesi Antinori was born in the homonymous estate, located on the Sienese hills.

It is produced exclusively with Prugnolo Gentile grapes, harvested only by hand during the month of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C for 20 days. Subsequently the wine ages in barriques for 15 months and for another 20 months in bottle before being released on the market.

Santa Pia is characterized by a ruby red color, with garnet reflections. The nose opens with a spicy bouquet, enriched with pleasant hints of red fruits and vanilla. On the palate it is elegant, with very soft and balanced tannins. The wine has a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Perfect to accompany first courses and grilled red meats, it is ideal in combination with fish and shellfish dishes.
