The Antinori have dedicated themselves to the art of viticulture for more than six hundred years: ever since, in 1385, Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Florentine Guild of Winemakers.
For 26 generations, the family has always managed this activity directly, making innovative and sometimes courageous choices, but always maintaining unaltered respect for tradition and for the territory.
Each vintage, each soil, each idea is a new beginning, a new search for higher and higher quality margins. As Marquis Piero likes to say: "the ancient roots play an important role in our philosophy, but they have never inhibited our innovative spirit".
Description
Bramasole nasce nella cantina La Braccesca di Marchesi Antinori, in una delle zone di Cortona più vocate alla coltivazione di Syrah di qualità. Si tratta di un vino che è stato capace di evolvere nel tempo e raccontare, secondo una nuova varietà, un territorio dall’antica tradizione vitivinicola. La prima annata prodotta di Bramasole è stata la 2000.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Bramasole 2017 shows an intense and dark ruby red color. The nose is sinuous and elegant, with ripe fruit notes of cherry and blackberry that combine with spicy sensations and a sweet aroma of licorice. The palate is powerful, rich and balanced. Pleasant tannins are well present and balanced by softness. The finish is long and characterized by aromas of vanilla and blackberry in the aftertaste.
Storage time:
5-8 years old
Vinification
In acciaio inox a freddo per 3 giorni, per consentire l’estrazione della componente aromatica. La macerazione si è protratta per circa 15 giorni.
