Brancaia Tre - Item Code: 05315
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Brancaia Tre opens with a vibrant, approachable character that makes it perfect for both casual gatherings and special dinners. With an ABV of 13.5%, this Italian red blend is crafted in Tuscany from Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The wine’s careful vinification highlights the region’s dedication to quality and balance, resulting in a bottle that captures the essence of modern Tuscan winemaking.
On the palate, Brancaia Tre reveals layers of ripe cherry, blackberry, and subtle hints of spice framed by soft tannins and fresh acidity. These flavors make it an excellent companion for roasted lamb or aged Pecorino cheese; the wine’s fruit-forward profile complements the richness of lamb while its structure stands up beautifully to the salty depth of mature cheese. Each sip brings out new nuances when paired with these classic Italian dishes, enhancing both food and wine alike.
Producer Information: Brancaia
Brancaia is based in the heart of Tuscany, with estates in the Chianti Classico and Maremma regions. The winery was founded in 1981 by the Swiss Widmer family, who quickly gained recognition after winning a local wine tasting competition just a year after acquiring their first vineyard. Brancaia’s production approach centers on sustainable viticulture, meticulous vineyard management, and minimal intervention during winemaking to express the unique terroir of each site. Their cellars combine traditional techniques with modern technology to ensure quality and consistency across all vintages.
Beyond their flagship Chianti Classico wines, Brancaia produces a diverse portfolio that includes Super Tuscan blends such as Il Blu and Ilatraia, which feature international grape varieties like Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot alongside Sangiovese. The estate also crafts single-varietal wines from grapes such as Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. In addition to red and white wines, Brancaia offers extra virgin olive oil sourced from their own groves but does not produce spirits or beer. Their commitment to organic farming practices extends across all products, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers seeking premium Italian wine experiences.
