Winemaker Notes
TRE stands for the three grape varieties, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and for Brancaia's three Tuscan estates - the basis for this wine. The wine is dominated by delicious red fruit flavors; it is really juicy and always ready to drink. It’s an elegant and well-structured medium-bodied wine which matures for one year in French tonneaux and cement.
Perfect with pasta, roasted or boiled white meat, poultry, or grilled fish.
Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

Raspberry, cherry and orange-peel aromas with hints of cedar. Medium body with firm, creamy tannins that are extremely polished and long. Focused and curated in all ways. Excellent value. Beautiful now, but will improve with age.

The savory nose of this Tuscan red is fresh pavement and cedar chips at first, then fresh red cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, then fennel and licorice. Barely ripe red fruit on the palate and more licorice with approachable tannins and snappy acid makes for lovely drinking ready whenever you are.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
