Winery Marchesi Antinori Vigneta Santa Pia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2019

While at Tenuta Tignanello – with its eponymous fine red and the Cabernet-dominated "Solaia? – Cabernet is also present, at Tenuta La Braccesca the focus is on classic Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Pure Prugnolo Gentile (a.k.a. Brunello) and 12 months of maturation in tonneaux result in a deep red and velvety Tuscan wine with abundant dark cherry and plum fruit, accented by spicier notes of dark roasted coffee, leather, and a touch of cedarwood. With its elegant, fine acidity, it more than lives up to the "nobile? in its name.
