Descrizione

Rosso Toscana IGT Ilatraia by Brancaia is a wine that elegantly reflects the richness of the Tuscan territory, the result of a harmonious blend of typical grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Coming from the hills of Castellina in Chianti, Ilatraia expresses from the nose intense aromas of ripe red fruits, spicy notes, and a slight balsamic hint.

On the palate it is full-bodied and enveloping, with soft and well-integrated tannins, supported by balanced freshness that guarantees a long and pleasant persistence. The aging method involves careful passage in oak barrels, which gives the wine complexity and structure without weighing it down.

Perfect paired with grilled red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, Ilatraia is an ideal choice for those looking for a Mediterranean wine with a refined character deeply connected to the essence of Tuscany.

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.

Awards and recognitions

The Chianti Classico wine has received recognition in specialized tastings; in particular, the company’s history records a success in a blind tasting for the 1983 vintage, and "Il Blu" is mentioned positively by international critics.
