2020 Brancaia Ilatraia Maremma Toscana

Winemaker Notes: Brancaia Ilatraia Red Blend is a "Super Tuscan" blend named for a hillside at their Brancaia in Maremma estate vineyard. Ilatraia is a fruit-forward and distinctively rich blend that has intense aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum, blueberry and spice. Those flavors are backed by ultra-fine tannins on the full-bodied palate, while subtle notes of coffee and licorice are found on the lingering finish. From Italy, IGT Rosso Toscana Maremma.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Very pure and attractive fruit character here with blackberries and blueberries with crushed violets, dark chocolate and savory herbs undertones. Some citrus peel and wet stones, too. Full-bodied with super fine tannins and crunchy acidity that gives tension and energy to the fruit. So polished and silky. Very long. A blend of petit verdot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."
