Descrizione

The Chianti Classico DOCG by Brancaia is born in the heart of Tuscany, precisely in the historic Chianti region, a territory famous for its wine-growing vocation and for soils rich in galestro and alberese. This wine is mainly the result of the Sangiovese grape variety, which provides structure, aromaticity, and a characteristic acidic note that enhances its elegance.

The aging takes place in French oak barrels, giving complexity and softness without ever overpowering the typical freshness of Chianti Classico. The intense ruby red color anticipates aromas of cherry, ripe plum, and light spicy nuances, with balsamic hints of undergrowth and tobacco. On the palate, it is harmonious, balanced, with good persistence and silky tannins, ideal with typical Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, roasted meats, and aged cheeses.

A refined expression of the territory that celebrates the excellence of Chianti Classico in its modern and highly personal interpretation.

Winery history

The estate began when the Widmer family purchased the Brancaia hill in the 1980s: from a first podere in Castellina/Poppi it grew into an operation with several estates and iconic wines such as Il Blu, whose square logo was created in the late 1980s. In subsequent years the winery expanded its holdings to include plots in Chianti Classico and Maremma.

Production philosophy

A pursuit of harmony, elegance and authenticity combined with a strong commitment to respecting nature: the company website indicates that the wines are produced with an organic approach and with attention to the land and sustainability.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards and facilities are primarily located in Chianti Classico and along the coast of the Tuscan Maremma; the administrative headquarters and the winery are in Radda in Chianti.
