ADDITIONAL NOTES:
The Nobile di Montepulciano by La Braccesca, owned by the Antinori family, is an elegant and incisive version of Sangiovese. In this red, the determined and strong character typical of this vine coexists with the touch of material softness and fatness of the Merlot, which participates in a small but fundamental part in the composition blend. The La Braccesca winery has a total area of 508 hectares, divided into two production poles: the historic one located in the Montepulciano area and the more modern one located on the slopes of the Cortona hills. From the first comes this Nobile di Montepulciano, full of all the character of the territory, which outlines very well the profile not only of the grapes, but also of the resulting wine.
The Rosso Nobile di Montepulciano La Braccesca is obtained from 90% Sangiovese and the remaining 10% Merlot. The grapes are harvested when fully ripe, which can take place at different times for the two varieties. A maceration of the must on the skins precedes the vinification, which consists of a first phase of alcoholic fermentation in steel containers and a subsequent malolactic fermentation which takes place inside large barrels. In the same, the wine formed begins the maturation phase, which lasts about 12 months. Once bottled, another year of bottle aging awaits it.
