Territory and wine style

IL BLU 2021 Brancaia comes from the vineyards of Castellina in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, in a hilly context between 230 and 400 meters above sea level, with a south-southwest exposure. The clayey soils and those richer in skeleton contribute to giving balance, depth, and tension to the sip. The IGT Rosso Toscana designation allows for a free and refined interpretation, where the fruity component of Merlot interacts with the personality of Sangiovese and the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Tasting notes

On the palate, IL BLU 2021 shows elegant, firm, and creamy tannins, supported by good freshness and a full, soft, and persistent finish. The sip is rich, deep, and harmonious, with returns of berries and sweet currants accompanying the closure. Aging in French oak and subsequent passage in cement help to integrate the wine and make its profile more balanced and complex.
