Antinori Vigneto Santa Pia Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG

The Vigneto Santa Pia vineyard is situated upon the rugged, stony terraces that sit just below the historic town of Montepulciano. Here, the Antinori family’s La Braccesca estate embraces a terroir defined by "scheletro"—a soil rich in rocky deposits and sand that demands a particular resilience from the Prugnolo Gentile vines. In a region where power often takes center stage, Antinori maintains a steadfast commitment to elegance and traditional precision. This vineyard serves as a singular expression of the site, where the unique mineral composition of the earth is translated into a wine of profound character and historical continuity.

The journey begins with an aromatic invitation of wild strawberries and crushed cherries, woven together with the piquant warmth of vanilla and a hint of blood orange. Upon the first sip, the palate is met with a striking tension that enlivens the fruit, leading into a mouthfeel of remarkable depth and volume. The structural framework is defined by a refined velvet, as the tannins glide across the tongue with a polished, sophisticated grip. It concludes with an expansive and persistent finish, leaving a savory trail of mineral notes and a lingering echo of dark berries that speaks to its high-altitude origin.
