The 2009 Tre is a delicate wine laced with crushed berries, flowers, spices and tobacco. This is a relatively delicate, understated wine from Brancaia. Tre is Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
This is a mixed set of releases from Brancaia, mostly owing to the nature of the vintages themselves. The flagship Il Blu in particular seems to have suffered in 2008.
