2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Santa Pia La Braccesca

Tasting notes:

Santa Pia is produced from a 15-hectare (37 acres) vineyard located on the ridges just below the town of Montepulciano in La Braccesa. This particular area has sandy loamy soils rich in rocky deposits 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 first vintage to be produced was 2001. 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. The palate is savoury and silky with vibrant tannins and a long and persistent finish.
