Brancaia is a creative Tuscan flagbearer because it doesn't rest on its laurels and its winemaker Barbara Widmer proves it with a supeb Merlot rosé produced organically in the heart of Super Tuscan country. While Merlot has been one of the defining wines of the modern Super Tuscan revolution where some regional wineries broke the rules and planted French noble varieties with great eventual success, Brancaia has gone a step further, exploring Merlot's graceful qualities with this floral charmer made from handpicked grapes tended to in the coastal Maremma vineyards sat on the Tyrrhenian coast, winning enthusiasts with a salmon pink hue and gentle red fruit palate.
