Brancaia's top wine perfectly embodies the unmistakable identity of the winery and their vision of winemaking, which is based on an uncompromising commitment to quality and respect for nature. Since its debut in 1988, Il Blu has been the result of their constant pursuit of perfection. It is only pressed from the best, hand-selected grapes from two vineyards in the Chianti region. Blend: 80% Merlot, 10% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
James Suckling 96 pts. Attractive blueberries, brambles and cherries with spiced orange peel and lilac blossom, as well as some smoky dark spices and cocoa. Full, concentrated and very tense, with tightly packed but very polished and fine tannins. Shows a succulence and vibrancy to the fruit with a mineral, slightly chalky finish.
