Description
The Ilatraia is Brancaia's top wine from the Maremma – it is full-bodied and impresses with its freshness, precision and elegance. This wine shows a perfect balance between maturity and finesse. It is extremely silky and polished with supple tannins that are typical of the Tuscan coast. The blend of 40% Petit Verdot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc shows the full beauty of this terroir. The three grape varieties can ripen perfectly without irrigation.
Taste
A firm and silky wine with fine tannins and a luscious finish.
Food Matching
With balanced, intense flavours, meat and game dishes fried or stewed, poultry such as pigeon or pheasant.
Aging
Ilatraia is aged for 18 months in French barriques, half of which are new, and then matures in the bottle for at least one year.
