La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2023

A red wine from the La Braccesca estate of the Antinori family, matured for about 12 months in large oak barrels followed by a further year in bottle. It is dark ruby red, with mature fruit, tobacco and spice on the nose, plus a balsamic trace. The palate is soft and balanced, with soft, elegant tannins, cherry and blackberry notes, and a long, mineral finish. It suits rich meat dishes, including game, and is suggested with a sangiovese risotto.
