Brancaia, Toscana IGT (Tuscany, Italy) 2010

Sep 23, 2016

By Rich Cook

A gorgeous super Tuscan from a great vintage!  This wine has a ton working in its favor — pure black and red fruit aromas and flavors, joined by pencil lead, sage and leather.  Perfectly dry and long lingering, it’s begging for food — osso bucco would be a great match.  Contains 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
