Descrizione

The Bramasole Cortona DOC Syrah from La Braccesca is a red wine that honestly expresses the character of the Syrah variety within the Cortona appellation. In the glass it shows an intense ruby color, accompanied by aromas recalling red and black fruits, spicy notes and a discreet herbal nuance. On the palate it displays a well-defined structure, with present but smooth tannins and acidity that supports freshness; the finish is persistent without excess, leaving fruity and spicy echoes.

It lends itself to versatile pairings: roasted or grilled meats, mushroom-based dishes, matured cured meats and medium-aged cheeses highlight its balance. It is advisable to serve it at a slightly cool temperature for reds (around 16–18 °C) to appreciate its aromatic nuances. It is suitable for everyday situations as well as informal meals; those seeking further development can monitor its evolution in bottle without mandatory waiting.

Winery history

The name comes from the historic farmhouse of the Conti Bracci. The property became part of the Marchesi Antinori family's holdings in 1990; that same year saw the first Vino Nobile di Montepulciano released under the La Braccesca label. Today the estate combines respect for local tradition with ongoing viticultural experimentation.

Production philosophy

Combining tradition and innovation: attentive stewardship of the vineyards, winemaking that showcases native varieties, and experimentation, with aging in casks and selected barriques to enhance the wines' characteristics.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate extends across the territories of Montepulciano and Cortona in Tuscany. The vineyards are divided into two main blocks, including renowned subzones such as Cervognano, Santa Pia and Gracciano. The soils for the Cortona Syrah are clay- and silt-rich, with a relatively dry climate.
