Brancaia - Toscana Il Blu 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Composed of 80% Merlot and 10% each of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2019 Il Blu is complex and impressive. It needs some time for its aromas to unfurl and reveals brooding black cherry liqueur, leather, anise, and incense. The palate is concentrated and full, with lasting depth, ripe tannins, and a velveteen texture. Notes of mocha, black plum, and Mediterranean herbs come together seamlessly. 

This has gorgeous aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, peppercorns, cloves, mocha, hazelnuts and dried herbs. Polished and creamy, with a medium to full body and firm, velvety tannins. Long, supple and elegant. Delicious already, but better from 2024.

The 2019 Il Blu is gorgeous. Dark and mysterious in the glass, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to reveal all of its personality. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, mint, licorice and new leather all meld together. This deep, fleshy Merlot-based blend hits all the right notes.
