The wines have been made here for 1200 years and with its warmer climate and local variant of Sangiovese - Prugnolo - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers a richer and headier experience than Chianti to the north. In addition to the traditional Nobile di Montepulciano the estate straddles the neighbouring appellation Cortona, an emerging wine producing area with great potential and is proving Italy's most successful appellation for Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-braccesca-bramasole-cortona-syrah","title":"La Braccesca Bramasole Cortona Syrah 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe La Braccesca Bramasole Syrah is made from the sunniest part of the vineyard in one of Cortona’s best areas for the production of premium quality Syrah. Malolactic fermentation takes place in small French oak barrels, both new and second fill, and then the wine is matured for approximately 18 months before being bottled. Deep, intense, ruby red in colour Bramasole is soft and elegant with notes of ripe cherries and blackberries that blend with hints of spices and sensations of sweet liquorice. Its palate is powerful, rich and well-balanced. Pleasant tannins are well-established and balanced by a smooth texture. The long finish is well defined by after aromas of vanilla and blackberries.

This particular area has sandy loamy soils rich in rocky deposits known as “scheletro” that allow the Antinori’s to create an elegant yet traditional expression of the Sangiovese grape that reflects the characteristics of this historic winemaking area. The 2015 Santa Pia shows an intense ruby red colour. The nose is dominated by fragrant notes of ripe cherries and red berry fruit, balanced well with the hints of vanilla and spices which are accompanied by a highly pleasurable crispness.
