ORGANICALLY FARMED
40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot & 20% Cabernet Franc
JAMES SUCKLING 96 POINTS - "Aromas of blackcurrants, iodine and oyster shells come through nicely, with graphite as well. Medium- to full-bodied and creamy, with a fine, velvety texture to the tannins and a vivid finish. Caressing at the end."
VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2021 Ilatraia, Brancaia's flagship Maremma red, is a fine example of the appellation. Black cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and bittersweet chocolate saturate the palate. This young, vibrant, exotic red needs time to be at its best. Today, it is almost shockingly primary." - Antonio Galloni
"The Ilatraia is our top wine from the Maremma – it is full-bodied and impresses with its freshness, precision and elegance. This wine shows a perfect balance between maturity and finesse. It is extremely silky and polished with supple tannins that are typical of the Tuscan coast. The blend of 40% Petit Verdot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc shows the full beauty of this terroir. The three grape varieties can ripen perfectly without irrigation. Ilatraia is aged for 18 months in French barriques, half of which are new, and then matures in the bottle for at least one year. “What a balance of maturity and finesse." - WINERY NOTES
Aged 18 months in a mix of new and seasoned French oak barrels.
