Descrizione

The stupendous La Braccesca estate covers an area of 420 hectares divided into two parts: the historic part including the company remains in the Montepulciano area, while the remaining 162 hectares of vineyards are located downstream of the Cortona hills. It is precisely in the latter that Syrah is grown from which "Achelo" is obtained, a dynamic red, which combines the typical depth of the vine with the freshness of vintage wines.

It shows a beautiful intense purplish-red color when poured. The olfactory profile offers the typical aromas of the vine with a background of nuances of black pepper and tobacco. The sip is soft and full, with fruity and spicy notes in perfect harmony with the nose and a particularly balanced acidity.

Perfect throughout the meal, it goes very well with first and second courses based on meat rich in aromas and spices.
