When it comes to wine in Italy, the Antinori family needs no introduction: twenty-six generations dedicated to viticulture, with a clear mission: to honour tradition while always looking to the future. And if there is one estate that perfectly embodies this philosophy, it is La Braccesca. We are not in Chianti Classico, but in an equally renowned and fascinating area of Tuscany: between Montepulciano and Cortona. La Braccesca consists of two separate estates, united by a single goal: to produce wines that are an authentic and clear expression of the terroir. On one side is the part that falls within the historic Vino Nobile di Montepulciano area. Here, the undisputed star is Sangiovese, known locally as “Prugnolo Gentile”. An aristocratic grape variety with a long history, it produces red wines of great elegance, structure and ageing potential. On the other side is the Cortona area. If Montepulciano is tradition, Cortona is a winning bet. Here, La Braccesca has focused entirely on an international grape variety, Syrah, which has found its ideal habitat in these clayey soils and relatively dry climate. The real magic of La Braccesca lies precisely in this harmonious coexistence between the classicism of Sangiovese and the modernity of Syrah.
