Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Tre, not surprisingly is a mix of 80/10/10 Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon picked from three separate estates in Castellina, Radda, Morellino di Scansano. There is more elegance today than the earlier versions. Love the open fresh cranberry-cherry floral fruit nose flecked with liquorice and tobacco. More cassis, cherry and liquorice flavours and an alcohol level in check.

Vineyard Notes
"Brancaia TRE is a wine full of character giving you drinking pleasure already at the moment of release. TRE stands for the three grape varieties Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and for our three Tuscan estates - the basis for this wine. This elegant and well structured wine ages in oak casks, is easily accessible and matches every cuisine. TRE is our third label, so we have three good reasons to name it Brancaia TRE."
Food Pairing Notes
Various pasta dishes, roasted and sautéed white meat, white poultry, fried and grilled fish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
