Product description
La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2018 is a red wine from Tuscany, Italy, crafted by the Antinori family's La Braccesca estate. This wine showcases the rich heritage and winemaking excellence of Montepulciano, a region celebrated for its elegant and structured wines.
Wine Description
The 2018 vintage is primarily composed of Sangiovese (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile), with a small percentage of Merlot. It displays a bright ruby red color in the glass. On the nose, it reveals fruity notes of raspberries and plums, complemented by sweet aromas of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, with soft, ripe tannins and a smooth, lengthy finish.
Food Pairing
This versatile red wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as spicy sausage casserole, meaty lasagne, and roasted leg of lamb. Its balanced acidity and structured tannins also make it an excellent match for hearty Italian dishes and aged cheeses.

- Natalie MacLean: 91 points – Described as a smoky Sangiovese-based red with spiced plum, dark cherry, blackberry, and toasty oak notes on its medium-bodied frame.
