Description

La Braccesca stretches over 508 hectares where the ancient farm of the Bracci counts once stood, hence the name of the estate and its coat of arms: an arm covered in armour holding a sword. The total surface area of the vineyards is 340 hectares, divided into two bodies: the first, 366 hectares, 237 of which are planted with vines, is located on the border between the towns of Montepulciano and Cortona. The other vineyard, 142 hectares, 103 of which are planted with vines, extends as far as Montepulciano between three of the most renowned sub-zones for producing excellent red wines: Cervognano, Santa Pia and Gracciano. The first vintage of La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG was in 1990.

Marchesi Antinori began investing in this area - one of the newest and most promising in Tuscany and all of Italy - in the early 1990s. At that time, Nobile di Montepulciano had just inaugurated its second Renaissance. But the wines of Montepulciano were, in fact, already famous then and long before that. Read more
