Description
In a nutshell:
A polished and impressive Tuscan red with ripe berry fruit and hints of spice and tobacco
The lowdown:
This superlative Sangiovese from the Antinori stable is a masterclass in capturing both elegance and tradition. From a single vineyard overlooking the historic town of Montepulciano, it benefits nicely from the area's sandy loam soils. The nose explodes with an intense and spicy melange of ripe raspberry and blackberry, interwoven with hints of mocha, sage, and a touch of citrus. The palate is equally captivating, boasting a core of zesty acidity that keeps everything beautifully balanced. Nuanced tannins provide the structure for the fleshy red fruits and mineral notes, resulting in a wine of superb harmony and drinkability. While undeniably modern in style, it retains a soul that speaks of its Tuscan roots.
The Producer:
La Braccesca, a historic Tuscan estate near Montepulciano, was acquired by the renowned Marchesi Antinori family in 1990. The Antinoris, synonymous with quality wine production for generations, have seamlessly integrated La Braccesca into their portfolio, maintaining the estate's tradition of producing classic Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. However, they have also embraced innovation, introducing wines made from international varieties like Syrah and Merlot. All their wines are reliably first class as expected of the Antinori family.
When to drink:
Now at its peak of maturity, this Tuscan red is the ideal partner for Peposo, its notes echoing the rich pepper and herbs of the stew, while also being bold enough for red meats and a fine match for mature cheeses.
