3x 0,75l "Ilatraia" Rosso Maremma IGT 2015 / 14,50 % vol / 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot and 20% Cabernet Franc

Deep dark ruby. Opulent nose of red berries, pleasant smoky notes and fine herbal spice. Opulent and round on the palate, the fine tannins give the wine a delicate but definite structure and the necessary seriousness until the long, soft finish. The well-integrated wood and the fruit of the Cabernet grape find an exciting symbiosis with the rather strict and taut Petit Verdot style in a very harmonious way. The wine gets better with each release and 2015 was an almost perfect year with optimal climate and ideal ripening point of the grapes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2015 Ilatraia is a drop-dead gorgeous blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot and 20% Cabernet Franc with all fruit coming from Brancaia's Maremma vineyards along the Tuscan coast. This warm vintage has shaped an exuberant and intense red wine that hits the palate with lavish richness. The complex bouquet is composed of dark fruit elements that are contrasted seamlessly against spice, sweet tobacco and campfire ash. Yet the mouthfeel is never too heavy or overextracted. There's a lot to enjoy here." Robert Parker (95 P.)

"Aromas of black licorice and blackberry. Blueberry, too. This is so complex. Full body, extremely silky and polished with lovely tannins. Deep and long. It seems powerful and rich yet ends so balanced and refined. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, petit verdot and cabernet franc." James Suckling (96 P.)

1x 0,75l Cabernet Sauvignon Maremma IGT 2015 / 14,50 % vol / 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

" A very linear cabernet sauvignon with firm and silky tannins, as well as mineral, currants and hints of rosemary. Firm and crisp." James Suckling (93P.)

1x 0.75l Petit Verdot Maremma IGT 2015 / 14.50 % vol / 100% Petit Verdot

"Very inky on the nose with some blood and orange peel undertones to the dark fruits. Full-bodied, very intense and energized on the palate. Firm and silky tannins, too." James Suckling (95P.)

1x 0,75l Cabernet Franc Maremma IGT 2015 / 14,50 % vol / 100% Cabernet Franc

"This is fantastic with currants, currant bush and strawberry undertones. Some flowers, too. Full-bodied and generous, yet firm and silky. Shows poise and focus." James Suckling (95P.)
