On the palate, it offers \u003cstrong\u003evigorous tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a persistent finish, making it ideal for pairing with cheese, cured meats and grilled meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in the heart of the \u003cstrong\u003eRadda in Chianti\u003c\/strong\u003e area. The Brancaia vineyards are situated on hills at around 200 metres above sea level, benefiting from a favourable southern exposure. The soils have a balanced profile of \u003cstrong\u003esand, clay and silt\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing optimal agronomic conditions for the vine. These environmental and geological factors give the wine a defined territorial character, enhancing the natural \u003cstrong\u003estructure\u003c\/strong\u003e of the grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e from non-irrigated vineyards.

Vinification involves fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e at a controlled temperature. Ageing for at least 12 months takes place in both steel and \u003cstrong\u003econcrete tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, preserving the varietal integrity of the \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e until bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1981 by the vision of the Widmer family, Brancaia embodies excellence by masterfully blending \u003cstrong\u003eItalian style and Swiss precision\u003c\/strong\u003e.
