La Braccesca Maggiarino 2023 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

Maggiarino is a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG from La Braccesca, the Antinori estate in Tuscany, which covers about 420 hectares. It is made from Sangiovese alone, matured in wood and then aged in bottle before release. The character is elegant and refined on one side, powerful and energetic on the other. It suits game, including roast saddle of venison with cranberries. The colour is a deep, intense ruby. The nose opens with marasca cherry, ripe plums and forest fruits, followed by exotic spice, clove, star anise and oak. The palate is taut and elegantly structured, with fine tannins and a long finish.
