AboutBrancaia
Bruno and Brigitte Widmer bought Brancaia in Castellina in Chianti in 1981 and brought in their first harvest that year. Their daughter Barbara joined the 1993 harvest, then left architecture to study winemaking and went on to lead the cellar.
The family works three Tuscan estates: Castellina, high-lying Radda and a property near the Maremma coast. The wines include Chianti Classico and Tuscan blends, with Sangiovese joined by international grape varieties grown in Maremma.
Brancaia 2023 Tre Toscana IGT
Italian Red
$42.99
Juicy red plum and cherry lead, with dark chocolate, orange peel and a savoury herbal edge. Medium-bodied and supple, the palate balances soft fruit with lively acidity and fine, easy tannins. A fresh, gently spiced finish keeps the wine poised and versatile. Serve with pasta, roast chicken or grilled pork.
Brancaia Il Blu 2020 Toscana IGT 1.5 L
Italian Red
$399.99
Currant, violet and cocoa shape an expressive, polished nose. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with wild berries bringing freshness through the centre. Firm tannins are creamy rather than coarse, giving the wine structure while preserving a smooth, composed texture. Subtle oak and dark chocolate tones sit behind the fruit, and the finish is rich and persistent, carrying sweet currant and savoury depth in measured balance.
Brancaia Ilatraia 2018 Toscana IGT
Italian Red
$126.99
Dark fruit leads with clarity and depth, framed by savoury spice and a restrained touch of toast. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, Petit Verdot adds colour and intensity, and Cabernet Franc brings aromatic lift. The palate is full-bodied yet fresh, with polished tannins and enough acidity to keep the finish defined and elegant. Decant before serving with roast lamb, braised beef or aged pecorino.
Brancaia 2019 Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
Italian Red
$66.99
Cherry and black fruit lead a broad, layered bouquet, followed by spice, leather, tar and freshly tilled earth. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate balances firm structure with bright freshness and succulent fruit. Fine tannins carry the savoury detail through a long, composed finish, making this a natural partner for roasted meats and rich sauces.
