I am so pleased with this sangiovese that I don't believe it myself.
It looks brilliant and transparent
It feels vibrant, irony and smooth
The freshness plays all the game like in a sangio from Tuscany.
It reminds me a bit of a Rosso di Montalcino by Stella di Campalto or a good Chianti from Radda.
I am truly impressed with this wine. β 5 years ago
Had to source from Biodivino in San Fran and had shipped to the east coast. Nose is much like the air Chianti. Like the Baron,this wine has absolutely no rough edges. Pretty, almost Pinot like. Had with bucatini with black pepper and lardons. This would feel equally at home with fish. Really impressed. Next time we are in Radda we are tracking this guy down β 8 years ago

Lovely immediate brightness, melding into layers of fruit and earth. My favorite of the 2019 cuveeβs. Vineyard in Radda β 2 years ago
Me and my wife just polished off our last bottle from a case of these. One of the best value Chiantiβs on the market. Picked up for $8.99/each at Costco a few months ago. This is an austere offering from high elevation vineyards in Radda in Chianti. Beautiful floral nose with bright cherry, plum skin and Tuscan soil. Elegant and refined for the price point. Shines with at least 30 min decant and pairs great with pizza or pasta with red sauce. β 5 years ago
Hailing from Radda in Chianti this beautiful 100% Sangiovese is grown at pretty high altitude (about 1470 ft) and is facing the most famous Pergole Torte vineyard. The wine shows a ruby red core with clear rim. The nose is seducing with ripe raspberry, cherry, violet and crushed flowers. As it opens it shows more of mineral spine and spices and a touch of smoke. In the mouth it is medium plus body with good acidity and medium tannins. I really liked it and am curious to see how it will evolve. β 5 years ago

Last night we opened the 2020 Brancaia Tre Rosso Toscana. From Radda in Chianti, Italy a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose this wine upon opening is heavily reductive with notes of matchsticks and sulfur. I had to let set for over an hour and these reductive notes blew off revealing nice notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, eucalyptus, vanilla, dried roses and dried earth.
On the palate there is tart cherry, strawberry, tart red plum, licorice, thyme, tomato, herbs, balsamic and minerality.
This is a medium to full bodied wine with medium + to high acidity and medium + fine tannins that has a long red fruit balsamic finish. I hope everyone's weekend was fun with good wine and for the week ahead please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! π·π·π·π· β 2 years ago
