Il, Blu 2010 Brancaia

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2010 Il Blu is 50% Sangiovese with some Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in oak for up to 20 months. This gorgeous wine shows incredible seamlessness with smooth aromas of cherry and blackberry that fold neatly into savory tones of spice and leather. The quality of the winemaking is impeccable. Il Blu is especially profound in the mouth, where it shows supple tannins and long persistency. It boasts integrated acidity and well-managed tannins. The 2010 vintage shows youthful, nervous energy that bodes well for its future evolution.

James Suckling (96)

A youthful red, still with some primary fruit aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum, wild rosemary, licorice, iron and tobacco. Fresh, succulent and harmonious, this is very long and compelling. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
