Italian Trio

A beautiful blend of Merlot 60%, Cabernet Franc 30%, and Syrah 10%.

A wonderfully floral bouquet of roses and lavender with hints of raspberries.  A juicy, succulent full body enveloped by velvety tannins before a sophisticated finish. The use of barrique comes across nicely but not too much. A very well-made, sexy wine.

90 Pts - James Suckling

Bragia cru, composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese stretches for 3 hectares and the composition of the soil consists of loose clay and sand with many fossils of seashell which bless the wine with a marked elegance.

Complex and herbal. Surprisingly supple without any obvious tannic Cabernet component while Merlot adds a little fruit sweetness. Long and with soft, drying, grainy tannins.

Intense nose with complex notes of blackberry and raspberry, tobacco and cinnamon spice, and flavors of dark chocolate. This wine is 100% Malvasia Nera, which at times is used to blend with Sangiovese, here winemaker Alessandro Griccioli renders it with balance and subtle tannin.
