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.
Tasting Notes
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.
