Territory and wine style

This wine is born in Tuscany, in the heart of the Chianti area, from hand-selected grapes in the estate's vineyards. The IGT Toscana designation allows for a freer and more contemporary style, capable of enhancing the character of international varieties without sacrificing the connection to the territory. Brancaia thus signs a red that combines international approach and Tuscan sensitivity, with a structured, precise profile suitable for an audience that appreciates high-end wines with a clear and concentrated taste.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep and dense red color. On the nose, sensations of ripe fruit, spices, and more complex nuances due to wood aging emerge, with an elegant and well-defined register. On the palate, it is full-bodied, enveloping, and very balanced, with fine and well-integrated tannins, a soft texture but supported by good gustatory energy. The finish is full, persistent, and clean, with a closing that recalls the richness of Merlot and the freshness of Sangiovese.

Recommended pairings

The Blu 2019 IGT Toscana Brancaia shines with structured and flavorful dishes. It pairs well with grilled red meats, braises, significant roasts, game, and rich preparations from the Tuscan tradition.
