La Bracesca Sabazio [2021] 750ml/Red

A hidden gem of Tuscany created from two attractive prime plots

La Bracesca is a winery located on the border of Umbria and Tuscany, one mile from the small town of Montepulciano in Tuscany. This is a historic area that retains traces of ancient Etruria, Rome, and the medieval Renaissance era, and has been an area that has been active in wine production since ancient times. In 1990, Antinori purchased the property owned by the Bratti family and started a new winery.

The charm of La Brachesca is that it owns two prime plots of completely different types. One is the traditional central area of ​​Montepulciano, which is famous for producing Vino Noville di Montepulciano D.O.C.G. The other is the hilltop area of ​​Cortona, famous for its international varieties, especially Syrah. Although these two regions are relatively close to each other, they have completely different charms, and each region uses grape varieties suited to its terroir to create wines that honestly express the characteristics of the region.

In the Montepulciano area, delicately flavored wines such as ``Vigneto Santa Pia'' made from grapes grown in the ``Santa Pia'' field, which is especially famous among Vino Noville, are available, and in the Cortona area, Parker Point We make powerful wines using Syrah, such as ``Bramasole,'' which has received high scores from Wine Spectator. None of them are flashy, but they are high-quality red wines that are full of the flavor and elegance of the region. La Brachesca does not make any white wine and has no plans to do so in the future.

The winery, La Brachesca, is named after its former owners, the Bracchi family. The logo of an arm holding a sword symbolizes both the power of the Bracci family and the Italian word for arm (Bracci). This land has been recorded since the 7th century BC, and there are ancient tombs and ruins from that era, as well as museums where you can learn about the history of that era. The combination of this historic site and Antinori's innovative winemaking creates some truly interesting wines.

Concentrated fruit flavors such as cherry and blackberry mix intricately with supple tannins to create a smooth drinking experience and deep flavor. This is a bottle that you can enjoy the typical Montepulciano taste, with a long finish with rich fruit and mineral notes.
