Tasting Note

The 2017 Achelo shows an intense ruby/purple in color. On the nose, ample and enveloping notes of red and black berry fruit fuse with spicy sensations of vanilla and varietal hints of black pepper typical of Syrah. The palate is ripe and supple with a pleasurable persistence heightened by an aftertaste of black fruit such as cassis and blackberry jam along with vanilla as well.

Product Notes

Antinori La Braccesca Achelo is a red wine produced in the Tuscany region of Italy. This wine is a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes, and is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The result is a full-bodied and complex wine with aromas of cherry, blackberry, and spice. On the palate, it has a rich texture with flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and a hint of tobacco. The tannins are firm, but velvety, and the finish is long and smooth. Antinori La Braccesca Achelo is a great choice for those who enjoy a bold and rich red wine that pairs well with hearty dishes such as grilled red meats or pasta with tomato-based sauces.

About the Winery

Antinori La Braccesca

The history of the Italian wine label, Antinori La Braccesca dates back to 1385. The Antinori family, known for its rich winemaking experience, established this brand, which came to be known as one of Italy’s premium wine brands. Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member of the Florentine Art of the Vinattieri in 1385. Today, 26 generations later, this estate is still run by the Antinorio family members, with the same dedication and respect to the art of winemaking.
