Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Prugnolo Gentile on Tuscan clay soils – this is the basis of the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from La Braccesca, one of the most famous estates of the Antinori group in Tuscany.
La Braccesca has been cultivating its vineyards around Montepulciano and Cortona under the umbrella of the Antinori family since the 1990s. The wines follow the classic style of Vino Nobile: aging in large wooden casks, clear expression of origin, and no modern excess of oak aromas.
In the glass, it displays a medium-deep ruby color. The nose offers aromas of sour cherry, blackberry, and a hint of dried violet, along with a subtle spice of cedar. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with firm but not harsh tannins and lively acidity – typical of Prugnolo Gentile. The finish is long, with a light balsamic note.
- Dishes: Bistecca alla Fiorentina, venison ragù, aged Pecorino di Pienza
- Temperature: 16–18 °C, preferably open an hour beforehand
- Drinking window: ready to drink now, will easily last another 4–6 years
La Braccesca lies in one of the most beautiful corners of Tuscany – where Montepulciano meets Cortona. Across more than 330 hectares of vineyards, a fascinating contrast thrives: the elegant Nobile di Montepulciano from old Sangiovese vines and the powerful Syrah of Cortona , which has found its ideal home in the clay-rich, hot soils at the foot of the city.
The estate has belonged to the Marchesi Antinori family since 1990 – and bears their signature: respect for tradition, courage to evolve. The underground cellars, where barriques and casks made of European oak mature, are symbolic of this. Wines that don't deny their origin – and yet tell its story anew.
