Brancaia Il Blu Toscana IGT 2013 Review

If you are a red blend fan, you need to check this wine out. It’s pricey, but so balanced, so well-aged, and so worth it. Sticking your nose in the glass the wafting earthy aromas will make you swoon. There is an undeniable depth as you wash it across your palate. It’s a great food wine for a lean steak, but will also open and change every ten minutes, so it may be more fun with a legit artisanal meat and cheese plate with close friends.
