Brancaia Il Blu 2005 is an excellent Tuscan red wine, a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It presents an intense ruby color and a complex bouquet of forest fruits and spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with silky tannins and a long finish. Aged in barriques, it pairs perfectly with red meats and aged cheeses.
