Brancaia, Tre Toscana (2018)

Tuscany, Italy
Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon
TRE stands for its three grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon as well as for its three Tuscan vineyards (Maremma, Castellina and Radda in Chianti). The assemblage is dominated by Sangiovese with 80 percent, but Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon also bring their charm with ten percent each. This well-structured, medium-bodied wine is aged for twelve months before it is bottled. Two thirds of the expansion takes place in French tonneaux and one in cement. This elegant, well-structured cuvée offers plenty of drinking pleasure now or later and goes well with every kitchen.
