Ilatraia La Brancaia is an iconic Super Tuscan from Tuscany. Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, it displays an intense ruby red color. The nose offers intense aromas of red fruits, spices, and tobacco. On the palate, it's full-bodied, structured, and enveloping, with elegant tannins and a long finish. Aged in barriques to enhance its complexity and depth, it pairs ideally with red meats and aged cheeses. Serve at 16-18℃.
