Giuseppe Brancatelli left home at 18 to travel Europe. After becoming a successful chef in Amsterdam, he returned to Italy, settling in Tuscany. Valle del Sogno literally translates to the Valley of the Dream, and is a wine representative of Giuseppe’s journey and passion. This Super Tuscan’s nose is complex with dried tobacco, chocolate, hay, black cherry, anise, and leather. The body is powerful with dark fruit, red licorice, violets, and chocolate. Comprised of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Cabernet Franc. If you intend to enjoy his wine anytime before 2027, decant your bottle for at least an hour to access its serious complexity.
