Brancaia Il Blu 2020

Attractive blueberries, brambles and cherries with spiced orange peel and lilac blossom, as well as some smoky dark spices and cocoa. Full, concentrated and very tense, with tightly packed but very polished and fine tannins. Shows a succulence and vibrancy to the fruit with a mineral, slightly chalky finish. A blend of merlot, sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. From organically grown grapes. Try now, but better after 2025. [This will evolve for another 15+ years.] Score – 96.
