Brancaia’s inexpensive Super Tuscan, Tre, combines the indigenous Sangiovese grape with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, both of which do well on the steep hillsides of Tuscany. This vintage shows meaty black fruits with Tuscany’s signature firm acidity. As the acid softens my opinion of this wine is likely to rise, though it is a tremendous effort for a Super Tuscan in this relatively modest price range.
