BRANCAIA THE BLUE 2020

BRANCAIA IL BLU “… is the wine that put Brancaia on the map of the most celebrated producers in Tuscany” (Robert Parker). IL BLU is obtained from the most rigorous selection of the best grapes from our Chianti Classico vineyards. It is a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, which ages in French barriques (two thirds new) for 18 months, then 3 months in cement and finally for at least one year in the bottle. With very fine tannins and a persistent finish, Il BLU is a wine of great structure, which fascinates with its complexity and elegance. Over the last 30 years this wine has not only become a symbol for Brancaia, but has earned the unanimous appreciation of the public and critics, becoming a classic for wine lovers all over the world. Like its unmistakable label, one of the distinctive elements of Brancaia, IL BLU maintains its characteristics intact over time: modern, elegant, timeless.
