Braccesca Rosso di Montepulciano Sabazio 2022
Fattoria La Braccesca extends over a total surface area of over 1,250 acres and is composed of two separate blocks: the historic nucleus is located in the town of Montepulciano with some 255 acres planted to vines in the finest sub-zones of the appellation. The other block, with 580 acres of grapes, is situated at the foothills of the town of Cortona. The name of the wine was inspired by Sabatino Lulli, known as Sabazio, a monk of the abbey of Montepulciano, who, for first, in medieval times, offered indications for the production of wine at Montepulciano. The first production of this wine in the zone dates from the 1992 vintage.

Colour

Ruby red.

Bouquet

The nose is striking for fresh, floral notes of violets and roses which well balance the typical aromas of cherries.

Flavour

The palate is fresh and elegant with silky and pleasurable tannins. The finish and aftertaste of Sabazio are tasty, with lingering sensations which recall the aromas first felt on the nose.

Pairing

It goes well with savoury first courses, with typical Abruzzo and sliced ​​roast beef stew.
