From the sunniest vineyard segment, from the innovative spirit of the Antinori family, from one of the areas of Cortona best suited to the cultivation of quality Syrah, comes Bramasole, a wine capable of evolving over time and telling, according to a new variety, a territory with an ancient winemaking tradition. The first vintage of Bramasole produced was 2000.

Vinification & Aging: Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and softly pressed. The must was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 28 °C. Maceration lasted for about 15 days and was managed with gentle mechanical interventions aimed at extracting the aromatic component and sweet, non-astringent tannins. The wine was transferred to French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation took place first, in second-passage wood, and then the ageing lasted about 12 months, carried out in both new and second-passage wood. Bottling took place in spring.

Pairings : Recommended pairings with grilled meat.
