Product Description
A lively ruby red in color, the Vino Nobile 2008 offers aromas which range from ripe red fruit to spice and black pepper. On the palate the wine is supple and elegant with crisp mineral notes which are characteristic of its grape varieties and its terroir. Soft on the finish, it shows the excellent ripeness which the Sangiovese (locally known as Prugnolo Gentile) grapes attained in this vintage.

Historical data
The La Braccesca estate, which covers just over 1,032 acres (418 hectares) of land, consists of two separate blocks: the historic nucleus of the property is located near Montepulciano with some 252 acres (102 hectares) of vineyards in the finest sub-zones for the production of Vino Nobile, while the more recent part, with 380 acres (154 hectares) of vineyards, is situated at the foot of the hills surrounding the nearby town of Cortona. The first vintage to be produced was the 1990.
