Brancatelli 'Valle del Sogno' Toscano

Cabernet Sauvignon / Cabernet Franc

Tuscany, Italy

Giuseppe Brancatelli has found an ideal footing for the classic French varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, in the clay and calcareous soils of the Val de Cornia. This southwestern part of Tuscany is a testament to the success these grapes varieties can achieve. Giuseppe started in the late 1990s with virgin land near the town of Riotorto, utilizing organic methods from the beginning. With the help of enologist Graziana Grassini, the winemaker for the famous Sassicaia, the Brancatelli wines are in a class of their own! Certified organic farming.

This is the big brother of the "Valle delle Stelle" with a similar blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. With the help of famous winemaker Graziana Grassini, this wine is a standout for the area known as the Val di Cornia.  Aged 18 months in new and used French Allier barrels.
