ProducerBrancaia

A biodynamic blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Merlot matured for 16 months in barrel. Midnight black dark red heart with a red to dark red hue. Spicy red to black currant, red cherry and rose petal aromas evolve out of the glass followed by some earth, dried herb and tobacco notes. Savoury red to black currant fruits are intermeshed with dusty earth, tobacco, dried herb, leather and spicy cedar elements. Lively acidity and chalky tannins lend energy, tension and grip to the elegant finish. - 94+ Points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate

About the region

Tuscany · Chianti

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
