The nose is elegant and immediately captivating, with fine cherry notes — the hallmark of classic Sangiovese aromatics — creating a sophisticated and refined aromatic profile. The bouquet is light, fresh and expressive, reflecting the purity of single origin Sangiovese and the estate’s decision to age exclusively in steel and cement, preserving the variety’s natural fruit character without the influence of wood.

Light and beautifully structured, the palate delivers fine cherry fruit with a captivating straightforwardness that is both refreshing and deeply satisfying. The wine offers great drinking pleasure at an early age, with the natural acidity and fine tannins of Sangiovese providing excellent balance and a clean, persistent finish — a beautiful Chianti Classico that is as elegant as it is approachable.

Winemaking Notes

Brancaia Chianti Classico Sangiovese DOCG 2023 is the only Brancaia red wine made without wood, a deliberate choice that pays homage to the estate’s terroir and allows the single origin Sangiovese to express itself with complete purity and authenticity. After harvest, the wine undergoes twelve months of ageing in steel and cement, preserving the fine cherry notes and light, elegant character that are the hallmark of classic Sangiovese aromatics. This approach reflects Brancaia’s philosophy of letting the terroir speak — producing a Chianti Classico of captivating straightforwardness and great drinking pleasure at an early age. As Monica Larner of Robert Parker wrote of Brancaia’s Chianti Classico: “Brancaia is primarily known for its excellent results with international grape varieties, but it also manages to produce first-class Sangiovese.”

Vintage Conditions

Chianti Classico is one of Italy’s most prestigious and historic wine appellations, situated in the heart of Tuscany between Florence and Siena. The region’s combination of high altitude, poor galestro and alberese soils, warm days and cool nights creates ideal conditions for Sangiovese of exceptional purity, acidity and fine tannin structure. Brancaia’s estate vineyards in the Chianti Classico zone produce single origin Sangiovese that fascinates with its lightness and fine cherry notes — a direct expression of the region’s unique terroir. The 2023 vintage in Tuscany delivered the warm, dry conditions that Sangiovese thrives in, producing fruit of exceptional quality and varietal expression with the fine cherry character, natural acidity and elegant structure that define Brancaia’s terroir-driven approach to Chianti Classico.
