Description
An elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from Casa Brancaia's Maremma estate vineyard on the Tuscan coast of Italy, where Cabernet has a short but glorious history. Hand picked grapes go through 28 days' long fermentation followed by 12 months in tonneaux and a few months in bottle before release.
Inky dark plum with garnet hues in appearance, this is a restrained, velvety wine full of blackberries and plums lightly touched with spice and eucalyptus. The delicate palate shows ripe tannins, good mid-weight expression and a lasting finish. Try with a selection of salami and aromatic cheese, or grilled and slow-braised red meats.
Casa Brancaia were founded in Tuscany in 1981. They aim to produce authentic wines in harmony with nature. They have organically farmed vineyards (certified in 2019) in Radda, Castellina and Maremma, with no use of chemical herbicides and insecticides. They are working towards biodynamic viticulture.
