About this winery

It was in 1981, when the Swiss couple Brigitte and Bruno Widmer fell in love with each other and purchased the (at the time) abandoned Brancaia estate, Castellina in Chianti. Only two years later, Brancaia made the first rank in an important Chianti Classico tasting and then rapidly gained international recognition. This lead to a continuous extension of the activities resulting in purchasing the Poppi estate (Radda in Chianti) in 1989, followed in 1998 by the founding of Brancaia in Maremma,...

Product notes

BRANCAIA N°2 is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon. This medium to full-bodied wine strikes with its beautiful blue fruit flavors and very smooth tannins, which are typical for the Tuscan coast. This wine is a fresh and elegant combination, which makes it easily accessible. It matures in used oak barrels for 12 months. The Brancaia vineyards in the Maremma have a west to south-west orientation and a slope of 0 to 12 percent. They are located in the territory of the municipality of Grosseto and range from 75 to 175 meters above sea level. The predominant Mediterranean climate here is strongly influenced by the Mediterranean Sea, which is only ten kilometers away.

Tasting notes

Creamy and soft on the palate with vanilla, red and dark berry fruits, a mix of sweet black cherry and some redcurrant freshness. Long, fine and very drinkable. Our wines show the diversity, distinctiveness and terroir of our vineyards: each Brancaia wine is harmonious, with a strong own identity.
