<b>BRANCAIA Ilatraia IGT</b> Cabernet Sangiovese Petit Verdot

Comments and Tasting Notes:

Swiss couple Brigitte and Bruno Widmer, with daughter Barbara and son-in-law Martin, run this property better than clockwork and, in two decades, have firmly established Brancaia as one of Tuscany’s leading estates. The vineyards at Poppi (Radda) and La Brancaia (Castellina) are on ideal hillside locations at 230-400 metres above sea level, planted to 6000 vines per hectare on lean, stony, calcareous soil to naturally produce a low yield.

Tre is a blend of three grapes – Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet – from their three vineyards in Radda, Castellina and Maremma. The Cabernet and Merlot add a little richness to the juicy Sangiovese fruit for an approachable, easy-drinking and very Tuscan red. Chianti Classico, made with a smidge of Merlot, is produced as others would a Riserva and is a shining example of modern Chianti Classico that rewards cellaring. SuperTuscan ‘Il Blu’ made its debut with the 1988 vintage and has since garnered eleven Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri. A blend of 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 18 – 20 months in French barrique, Il Blu is jam-packed with rich, ripe powerful fruit that is beautifully balanced with freshness and elegance. It drinks well in its youth, but has the structure to age gracefully over 20 years in the best vintages.

Ilatraia is the new wine from their Maremma estate, established in 1998. The vineyards, eleven kilometres from the sea and southeast of Grosseto, are planted to Sangiovese, Cabernet, Petit Verdot and Merlot. The wine, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Sangiovese and 10% Petit Verdot, is a real thoroughbred, immaculately packaged with all the hallmarks of the Brancaia stable.
