20-year-old Ilatraia: opulent nose of red berries, pleasant smoky notes and fine herbal spices. Opulent and round on the palate, the fine tannins give the wine a delicate but firm structure and the necessary seriousness through to the long, soft finish. The well-integrated wood and the fruit of the Cabernet grape find an exciting symbiosis here in a very harmonious way with the rather strict and taut Petit Verdot style. SUPERIORE.DE

"Exciting start with aromas of wild berries, black cherries and liquorice, backed by plenty of Mediterranean flora; combines character and elegance and pleases with its precise evolution, fruity spiciness and length." Vinum

"Bright, very dense ruby colour with violet elements. Open bouquet with lots of spice of coriander seeds and some allspice, followed by strong black cherry and cocoa. Intense palate, full-bodied, opens up and grabs hold, the tannins are savoury, juicy mouthfeel and long finish." Falstaff

"A lean, taut, almost racy red wine with aromas and flavours of blackcurrants, blackberries, violets and spices. Firm yet balanced, with a slight hint of tannins." Wine Spectator

"The nose is rich and lush, with aromas of vanilla, milk chocolate, Luxardo cherry and fresh coffee. The palate is balanced between fresh berries and earthy tones before a compellingly bitter finish of orange peel dipped in dark chocolate. A supple acidity plays around fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The Ilatraia 2021, Brancaia's flagship wine in Maremma, is a good example of the appellation. Black cherry, plum, espresso, liquorice and dark chocolate saturate the palate. This young, vibrant, exotic red wine needs time to show its best side." Vinous

"The Brancaia 2021 Ilatraia is a blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. I like the newly designed front label of this vintage. It's a powerful and generous wine with sweet fruit, blackberry jam, baking spices and a hint of pipe tobacco. The Ilatraia hits the palate with power, but the tannins are gently integrated and provide a full-bodied but velvety finish." Wine Advocate

"Flavours of blackcurrant, iodine and oyster shells come through well, also graphite. Medium to full-bodied and creamy, with a fine, velvety tannin structure and a lively finish. Flattering in the end." James Suckling
