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.

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
This exemplary Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Maremma vineyard of the Swiss couple Brigitte and Bruno Widmer. A well-judged oak influence allows the expression of red and black fruits on the palate. Creamy and smooth with vanilla, red and black fruits, a blend of sweet black cherry and refreshing currant. The overall effect is fresh and persistent. Superb!
