Brancaia
Tre Toscana Sangiovese Blend
Tuscany, Italy
This wine is a hug from someone in a leather jacket: soft and comforting but with just a whiff of that funky smell and structure. The berries are bright and ever so slightly cooked, like a nice berry coulis. Then there is earth and some dried branches and silky tannins. On first sip I wasn’t into this but given a minute to open up it has something to say without being a loudmouth. Totally friendly supertuscan. Pairs well with a book.

2 people found it helpfulDec 10th, 2017A stylish Super Tuscan that is as modern as its label, Brancaia's 2014 Tre is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from all three of the winery's estate vineyards. It's softly textured on the nose and palate, a basket of freshly harvested, sun-warmed Italian plums and black cherries infused with thyme blossoms. The palate is plush and generous, with ripe tannins and a core of black fruit enlivened by a burst of acidity that leads into cedar and bay leaf. 13.5% ABV Sample | 89 Points

Wow. Great wine! Thin lip. Slow legs. Amazing balance from start to finish. Long finish. Low to medium tannin. Not overpowered by oak.

Sep 18th, 2018甘草香りが凝縮感を想像させて、豊満な感じだが、飲んでみると割と透明感のある滑らかな仕上がり。
内陸のサンジョベーゼに、ボルゲリのメルロ、CSを合わせるあたり、組み合わせの妙を感じる。うまく作られたワイン。

At this price point it's the hero of house wines.
