Last night we opened the 2020 Brancaia Tre Rosso Toscana. From Radda in Chianti, Italy a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose this wine upon opening is heavily reductive with notes of matchsticks and sulfur. I had to let set for over an hour and these reductive notes blew off revealing nice notes of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, eucalyptus, vanilla, dried roses and dried earth.
On the palate there is tart cherry, strawberry, tart red plum, licorice, thyme, tomato, herbs, balsamic and minerality.
This is a medium to full bodied wine with medium + to high acidity and medium + fine tannins that has a long red fruit balsamic finish. I hope everyone's weekend was fun with good wine and for the week ahead please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Not what it once was… but still… for the price it’s good. Really good. Initially, not so complex but as it opens up so does the depth.
