Winemaker Notes
This vintage is elegant and expresses the true varietal character of Syrah from this region. It is characterized by notes of black berry fruit and tobacco in the nose and hints of liquorice and black pepper on the palate. The wine is supple and enveloping with a long, elegant finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
La Braccesca's 2010 Cortona Syrah Bramasole is a gorgeous interpretation of this celebrated Rhône Valley variety. In the past, American oak was used to age this wine, but this in no longer the case. The winery has opted for French oak instead for moderated tones of spice and tobacco. The wines offers soft layers of blackberry, cured meat and white peppercorn. The tannins are rich and velvety.

Dense and concentrated, featuring glossy blackberry, plum, spice and tar flavors. Balanced, with tannins meshing well with the texture and ripe fruit. Fine length.

Located few kilometers from Montepulciano, where southeastern Tuscany borders Umbria and Lazio, La Braccesca Estate is immersed in a pristine environment greatly loved and admired by travelers from all over the world. Montepulciano is the land of renowned "Vino Nobile", a wine appreciated already centuries ago by the Medici family. In the early 1990s, the Marchesi Antinori brought their experience, respect for tradition and capacity for innovation to this land of history and culture.
One of La Braccesca's strengths is the harmony between the past and the future, reached through a strong knowledge of winemaking and a infinite passion for quality. These qualities represent the mission statement of a young dynamic winery in one of the most prestigious winemaking areas of Italy.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
