Description
IL BLU 2021 IGT Rosso Toscana Brancaia
IL BLU 2021 by Brancaia is the iconic red wine of the winery, a Tuscan blend of great personality that combines Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon in a modern, elegant, and deep interpretation of the Chianti territory. It is a wine designed for those seeking structure, balance, and a complex aromatic weave, with a profile capable of enhancing both the richness of the fruit and the precision of the winemaking process.
Territory and wine style
The IGT Rosso Toscana is born from hand-selected grapes from the vineyards of Castellina in Chianti and Radda in Chianti, at altitudes ranging from 230 to 400 meters above sea level. The characteristics of the soils, composed of clay, medium texture, and skeleton, along with the continental climate with strong seasonal variations, contribute to defining a wine of energy and depth. The style of IL BLU 2021 reflects careful vinification and significant aging, designed to best integrate matter, tannin, and aromatic components.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents an intense and deep red color. On the nose, notes of currant, violet, and cocoa emerge, enriched by hints of ripe berries. On the palate, it is a full-bodied, rich, and intense wine, with elegant, firm, and creamy tannins. The structure is significant but well balanced by measured freshness and a full, soft, and persistent finish, where memories of red fruit return along with a pleasant sense of harmony.
Recommended pairings
IL BLU 2021 pairs easily with flavorful and well-structured dishes, such as braises, grilled fillets, important roasts, and game birds. It is also ideal with rich first courses, pappardelle with meat ragù, tortelli with wild boar, and aged cheeses. Its aromatic richness and tannic presence make it suitable for preparations with good succulence and flavor intensity.
Serving temperature
The ideal temperature for IL BLU 2021 is 18-20 °C. If possible, it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to enhance the aromatic expression and balance of the sip. Particularly in the early stages of opening, a few minutes of aeration can help highlight its complexity.
