La Braccesca Achelo Cortona Rosso DOC Magnum 1,5 ℓ, In Holzkiste

The Cortona Rosso Achelo La Braccesca of the Marchesi Antinori was born in the homonymous estate, located on the Sienese hills. It is produced with Syrah grapes, harvested in mid-September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C for 10 days. Subsequently the wine is partially aged in barriques and steel tanks for about 7 months, before being bottled. Achelo is characterized by an intense purplish red color. The nose opens with hints of red fruits, enriched by pleasant spicy notes of tobacco and pepper. On the palate it is full and soft, with balanced acidity and a pleasantly fruity aftertaste. Perfect to accompany grilled red meats and game, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
