Descrizione

Vigneto Santa Pia by La Braccesca, a Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG, shows a rich yet measured aromatic profile. On the nose there are notes of ripe red fruit, subtle hints of wild berries and a bouquet of delicate spices and Mediterranean herbs. The entry on the palate is soft, with tannins that are present but well integrated, and acidity that supports the structure without being aggressive. The finish is long and clean, providing a pleasant persistence.

It pairs well with dishes based on red meat, roasts and flavorful preparations of Tuscan cuisine; it also works with game birds and hard cheeses. To appreciate its aromas, serve the wine at around 16–18 °C and, if desired, open the bottle a few hours beforehand or decant to encourage aeration. A versatile choice for those seeking a characterful red that maintains balance and drinkability, suitable for convivial occasions without requiring complex pairings.

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.
