Wine Review: This very dark purple wine opens with a pleasant cherry vanilla like bouquet. On the palate, this medium bodied wine is balanced, juicy, and not overly complex. It is however, very tasty with its cherry flavors. The finish is dry with mild tannins that linger for some time. This wine is a perfect choice for chicken or veal parmigianna. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Brancaia TRE is full of character and satisfying from the very first sip. Grapes are carefully hand-selected from our estates Brancaia, Poppi and the Maremma: Brancaia in Maremma. The blend of Sangiovese (80%), Merlot (10%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%) is aged for 12 months in French barrels (500 l). TRE is our third label, which makes it our third good reason to call it Brancaia TRE.
