Named for a hillside in our Brancaia in Maremma estate vineyard, our fruit forward 2013 ILATRAIA is distinctively rich. ILATRAIA has intense aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum, blueberry and spice, backed by ultra-fine tannins on the full-bodied palate, while subtle notes of coffee and licorice are found on the lingering finish.
Located just a few miles from the Mediterranean coastline, Brancaia in Maremma is rugged with a west-southwest exposure and mostly sandy clay soil at the foothills of the nearby Uccellina Mountains.
Blend: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot, 20% Cabernet Franc
Staff Review:
Not big into scores, but this wine received 97 Points from Wine Advocate because it is crazy good! An intense Italian Red blend full of blueberry and coffee notes.
2013 Vintage Scores:
Wow. The 2013 Ilatraia jumps right out at you. This is a tremendous effort – I tasted this wine three times blind and it always came out on top. Cabernet Sauvignon (40%) is blended with Petit Verdot (40%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). The complexity and the ever-changing nature of the bouquet is mind-bending. Ilatraia shows enormous depth and sophistication, and it leaves a profound impact. The wine sports deep color saturation with brilliant flashes of dark ruby. The texture is immensely soft, yielding and seamless in its integration. Dark fruit and blackberry is followed by light notes of tobacco, toasted nut and scorched earth. I am in awe of its complexity.
