2021 Brancaia Il Blu Toscana IGT

Wow! Very powerful and layered in the sensory profile shows notes of black plums, prunes, hyacinth, coriander, black pepper, juniper berries and peppermint. Lots of eucalyptus describes the secondary scene of original workmanship. A marriage between tradition and modernity shows muscles but pleasant agility, concreteness and progressive vision. A masterpiece. Better from 2026.

The finesse and beauty of this wine are rather breathtaking, with currant, mint, spearmint, sandalwood and blackberry aromas that follow through engagingly to the palate. It starts off medium-bodied, but then grows on the palate and spreads out at the end with reserved fruit and superb tannins. Fantastic structure and balance. Needs five or six more years to come together.
