Brancaia’s SuperTuscan ‘Il Blu’ made its debut with the 1988 vintage and has since garnered 11 Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri. Beginning with the 2013 vintage, the blend has changed a little to include more Merlot and is now 70% Merlot, 25% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged 20 months in barriques (2/3 new) and is dripping with dark plum and cherry fruit with chocolate and spice, the palate full bodied with velvety tannins. Its a style of wine that drinks well right out of the gate but cellars for 10-15 years. Sensational wine - sensational package.
