The organic Brancaia 2021 Maremma Toscana N. 2 (made with Cabernet Sauvignon) has dry aromas of summer hay and toasted grain. It reveals a dark core of fruit with black cherry and baked plum. The wine is almost impenetrable in character and appearance, and although there is some uplift thanks to a floral aroma and lingering sweetness, this wine ultimately reverts to that charred, dark Maremma personality.
This varietal Cabernet Sauvignon is made exclusively from grapes from our vineyards in the Maremma and is therefore a representative of the relatively new appellation Maremma Toscana DOC. This medium to full-bodied wine impresses with its beautiful, blue fruit aromas and very soft tannins. The perfect combination of freshness and elegance makes this wine extremely charming and easily accessible. It matures for 12 months in tonneaux, which have been used before. Charming and fine on the nose, smooth and velvety on the palate.
We've shipped in a sterling straight Cabernet from the house of Brancaia which gives you a sense of just how the grape has thrived in Italy. Cabernet Sauvignon's most significant international mark by far is the role the French noble grape played the exciting wine revolution that defined modern Italian wine. The Super Tuscan movement was sparked by local winemakers who broke with the law to Cabernet and Merlot grapes and making straight reds and blending them with Sangiovese. The results were so good that the law bent to accommodate the Super Tuscan style and Brancaia, No 2 2018 is vintage, continuing proof of why the landmark change in Italian law was totally worth it.
