2021 Brancaia Ilatraia Red Blend Tuscany Vinicola Geisse and succulently ripe grapesThis wine strides forward with an extremely herbaceous nose, from oregano to thyme to tomato leaf. It also conveys the peppery savoriness of capsicum plus the depth of newly turned soil and a final pop of sour cherries. The palate continues the theme, with more peppers and cherries, but also sundried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. Polished and consistent tannins make for a fun but slick balance of savory and sweet. 94 Pts Wine Enthusiast
