Brancaia Ilatraia 2008
Ilatraia is a wine of great structure, freshness and elegance. It shows a perfect balance between maturity and refinement. Our wine of excellence from the Maremma area is extremely velvety with pleasant tannins, typical of the wines of the Tuscan coast. The name Ilatraia has been the name of one of the hills of our winery for centuries, today the vineyard of our best Petit Verdot.

Colour

Ruby red with purple highlights.

Bouquet

Precious and extremely intense nose with blackberries and cassis, violet violets, chervil, dense mineral baggage, touches of powder, balsamic breath and hints of noble vegetable sensations.

Flavour

Mouth of disruptive dynamism, enveloping and warm, made sinuous by elegant tannins. Very long persistence on sweet cinnamon aromas.

Pairing

Foods with intense and well balanced flavours, roast or braised meat and game, birds such as pigeon or pheasant.
