Antinori La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG 2017, Tuscany, Italy
PRESS: Wine Spectator - 92 points. 'Ripe, vibrant cherry and blackberry fruit is accented by iron, leather and wild herb notes in this supple, harmonious red. Turns more linear as it evolves, ending in a long, mineral- and spice-tinged aftertaste. Drink now through 2029.'

Winemaker Notes:
An intense ruby red in color, the wine offers fruity aromas with violet and vanilla notes. On the palate, the wine is ripe, supple and balanced with tannins supported by a vein of acidity that brings out flavors of blackberry and cherry. The wine is persistent and mineral on the finish and aftertaste.
