| Story | Fattoria La Braccesca, which covers a total area of 508 hectares, is composed of two separate bodies: the historic nucleus of the estate is located in the Montepulciano area, with 103 hectares planted with vines; the other, with 237 hectares of vines, is located at the foot of the hills surrounding Cortona. Achelo celebrates the Cortonese territory through an enveloping and delicate wine. Its name is inspired by the God Achelo, depicted in one of the most important Etruscan works in the Museum of the Etruscan Academy in Cortona. |
