Description

Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently pressed. The resulting must was transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature no higher than 28°C (82°F), preserving and enhancing the aromatic characteristics of the varietals. The wine then rested in stainless steel vats where malolactic fermentation took place and aged for approximately four months before being bottled in mid-March 2022.

Tasting notes

Sabazio is ruby ​​red in color. The nose is characterized by fresh notes of red fruit, such as black cherry and raspberry, and pleasant floral and balsamic nuances. The palate is smooth, with velvety tannins that accompany a pleasantly savory and fresh finish. The fruity sensations perceived on the nose return in the aftertaste.

Cellar

La Braccesca extends over 508 hectares where the ancient farm of the Bracci counts once stood, hence the estate's name and its coat of arms: an arm covered in armor holding a sword. Since 1990, the estate has been owned by the Marchesi Antinori family. The total vineyard area is 340 hectares, divided into two parcels: the first, 366 hectares, of which 237 are planted with vines, is located on the border between the municipalities of Montepulciano and Cortona. The other parcel, 142 hectares, of which 103 are planted with vines, extends all the way to Montepulciano, encompassing three of the most renowned subzones for the production of fine red wines: Cervognano, Santa Pia, and Gracciano.
