Why shop with us?
La Braccesca’s Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2023 is a polished Tuscan red that showcases the purity and elegance of Sangiovese Grosso, rounded out with a touch of Merlot. Produced by Antinori’s La Braccesca estate, it combines classic Montepulciano character with careful, modern winemaking and the depth that has made Vino Nobile one of Italy’s most respected DOCG wines.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vibrant ruby-red color with inviting brightness. The nose opens on ripe fruit, layered with graceful hints of violet and a subtle touch of vanilla from its time in large oak casks.
On the palate, it is balanced and smooth, with flavors of strawberry and cherry at the core. Delicate vanilla notes and soft tannins lead into a long, harmonious finish, giving it both immediate appeal and enough structure to age gracefully over the next several years.
Production
This wine comes from the hills around Montepulciano in Tuscany, where the terroir is well suited to Sangiovese and helps preserve freshness, aromatic detail, and natural acidity. The grapes are vinified with great care to protect the fruit’s purity and aromatic precision, then the wine is matured for 12 months in large oak casks to support the style without overpowering its varietal character.
Food & Serving
A versatile Tuscan red like this pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled pork, mushroom dishes, and classic Italian pasta with tomato or ragù sauces. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if you want to soften the tannins and bring out more of the wine’s aromatics.
