Vino Nobile di Montepulciano La Braccesca by Marchesi Antinori is produced in the eponymous estate, located on the Sienese hills.

It is mainly produced with Prugnolo Gentile grapes 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 transferred to large oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and a 12-month ageing period. Once bottled, it ages for another 12 months.

La Braccesca is a wine with a ruby red color. The nose expresses hints of red fruit and spices, with sweet notes of tobacco that blend on the palate with nuances of cherry and blackcurrant. Great minerality and a well-balanced tannic structure accompany the tasting, leaving room for a long and flavorful finish.

Ideal in combination with savory first courses based on meat sauce, this wine is perfect to accompany red meats and roasts.
