Just a mile away from the city of Montepulciano, near the border between Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria, La Braccesca, an Antinori property since 1990, is situated in two very close, but entirely different, zones: the classic and prestigious area of Vino Nobile, and Cortona, which has made a name for itself for Syrah.

Santa Pia is produced from a 15-hectare (37 acres) vineyard located on the ridges just below the town of Montepulciano. This particular area has sandy loamy soils rich in rocky deposits known as “scheletro” that allow Antinori to create an elegant yet traditional expression of the Sangiovese grape that reflects the characteristics of this historic winemaking area. The first vintage to be produced was 2001.

What the critics say:

94/100James Suckling

"Currants, cherry stones and bark on the nose with some toast, olives and orange zest. Medium-bodied with firm, round tannins and bright acidity. Excellent balance. Deliciously savory. Drink or hold."
