Unreal. It’s worth every penny. Brancaia doesn’t disappoint. Rivals super Tuscans that are worth double.

Noch zu jung. Hat jede Menge Potenzial. Viel Körper und Struktur. Kann sicherlich noch 10 Jahre reifen. Trotzdem toller Tropfen.

Dark cherries, blackberries, and some floral notes on the nose. Fruit forward but we'll balanced. Dark fruits and some minerality. Slight oak and acid. Very full bodied and rounded mouthfeel. Aggressive. Full tannins.

Excellent. Delicious. Would definitely buy again.

Big red wine, but a little muddled in the flavors. A blend of Sangiovese, merlot and Cabernet - would think the Sangiovese would stand out a little more. Good acid and tannin for balance but long term I'm not sure this is going anywhere. A nice solid Tuscan wine, probably enhanced by being here, glad to be drinking something made locally.

Very nice super Tuscan - this bottle is showing a little light in character.

2000 vintage of this beautiful Sangiovese Merlot blend with a dash of Cabernet Sauvignon. Expected it to be fading a bit after 15 years, but this is still beautiful to drink, elegant and well balanced with mocha and dark chocolate notes.
