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

This is bright and savory with vivid red fruit, dried lavender, orange peel and hints of crushed stones on the nose. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity and a dusty texture to its tannins. Crunchy and vibrant with a peppery aftertaste. From organically grown grapes.

Displaying a medium red color, the 2022 Tre is fruity and inviting, with aromas of strawberry preserve, hints of pencil shaving, and fresh flowers. Medium-bodied, it is a juicy and easy-going red with a clean finish and an even freshness of acidity. It is highly appealing now and will be best enjoyed over the next few years.

Vinous
The 2022 Tre is a fine entry-level offering. This Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend offers terrific freshness and just enough seriousness to be a perfectly suitable accompaniment at the dinner table. Floral overtones brighten the finish. This mid-weight wine hails from Brancaia's Chianti Classico and Maremma properties.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose is balanced between the tang of Bing cherry and blood orange peel and fresh, earthy, herbaceous notes of sage and topsoil. Tart blackberries and red plums join the cherries on the plate, while chalky, dense tannins lift a continued, peppery earthiness to preserve balance.

Wine Spectator
Flavors of cherry, strawberry, sanguine, iron and Mediterranean scrub are supported by a solid structure in this red, which is balanced overall, with dusty tannins and a resonant finish. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2026 through 2040. 27,500 cases made, 10,200 cases imported.
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.
