The Tenuta Braccesca in Montepulciano was purchased by Marchesi Antinori in 1990 and consists of 151 hectares of vineyards between the towns of Montepulciano and Cortona with a further 87 hectares situated in the prime Montepulciano real estate of Cervognano, Graciano and Santa Pia. The local clone of Sangiovese, Prugnolo Gentile is planted along with non-indigenous varieties such as Merlot and Syrah. The range includes the delicious 100% Syrah wine, Achello and Bramasole from the Cortona DOC, the Sangiovese blend, Sabazio Vino Rosso di Montepulciano and the stunning 100% Prugnolo Gentile, Vigneta Santa Pia designated as Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG Riserva.

Sangiovese wines, synonymous with Italy's Tuscan landscape, embody a spectrum of flavors ranging from vibrant red fruits like cherry and strawberry to herbal nuances and floral undertones. Their moderate to high acidity, coupled with medium tannins, imparts a refreshing zest and structure, creating wines that can vary from light and fruity to robust and intense. Terroir plays a pivotal role in shaping Sangiovese's character, with distinct regions like Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino offering their unique expressions, from the former's lively acidity and firm structure to the latter's deep intensity and power.

Sangiovese wines are celebrated for their versatility at the table, harmonizing with a plethora of dishes from traditional Italian fare to international cuisine. They pair exceptionally well with pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, aged cheeses, and Tuscan specialties like ribollita and bistecca alla fiorentina. While some Sangiovese wines are best enjoyed in their youthful exuberance, others from esteemed appellations like Brunello di Montalcino exhibit remarkable aging potential, evolving over time to reveal greater complexity and depth, cementing Sangiovese's status as a timeless classic in the world of wine.
