La Braccesca Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2019

I actually prefer this village bottling to the single-vineyard Riserva from the 2018 vintage. The La Braccesca 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers bright fruit and fresh blackberry with integrated spice, tilled earth and pressed blue flower. Fresh acidity pops over the close. This is a balanced wine with velvety tannins. Drink date: 2022-2030. Score – 92. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 7, 2023)
