Fragrant with a ripe red cherry, earthy and smoky dried herbs on the nose. Dry, with juicy ripe red berry, blackberry, underbrush, coffee, sweet dried tobacco leaf and cedar spice a flavours on this full-bodied red. Enjoy with saucy, meaty dishes.

From the Tuscany wine region, Brancaia Tre is a spicy medium-bodied red blend of 80% Sangiovese 10% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
