In 2000 Brancaia produced the TRE for the first time.<\/strong> As an assemblage of grapes from several Tuscan growing areas, it is an absolute novelty – and another courageous break in tradition.

Simon Woods from \u201cWine International\u201d awards 95 out of 100 points, the \u201cWine Spectator\u201d 92. \u201cOld documents say that the hill on the property in Maremma has been called Ilatraia since at least 1823. Presumably it was covered with ilatro trees at that time. This is how the name Ilatraia came out. Today our best Petit Verdot grows there \u201d, explains Barbara Widmer. 2002 is also an important year for Brancaia in terms of trade. The winery exports for the first time to Japan and Thailand, establishing its foothold in Asia.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/brancaia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brancaia_Weinkeller_1200x960px_06.jpg” title_text=”Brancaia_Weinkeller_1200x960px_06″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n By 2004, 40 hectares of vineyards in Maremma have already been planted. In addition, Brancaia celebrates its first exports to Brazil.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2006, Brancaia’s IL BLU from the 2004 vintage takes 9th place in the Top 100 of “Wine Spectator.”<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2007, India is added to the list of countries to which Brancaia exports its wines.<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2008, Brancaia delivers its wines to Mexico for the first time.<\/strong> As a result, wines from Radda, Castellina and Maremma are already available in around 40 countries worldwide.

She manages to be the only winemaker without an Italian passport to join the exclusive group of the ten selected. On the export front, progress is also being made: Israel and Canada are added as new destinations for Brancaia.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/brancaia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brancaia_Weine_ILBIANCO_1200x960px_01..jpg” title_text=”Brancaia_Weine_ILBIANCO_1200x960px_01.” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In 2009, the TRE from the 2007 vintage ranks 10th in the prestigious Top 100 of “Wine Spectator.”<\/strong> With Il Bianco, Brancaia produces its first white wine. “White wines usually play a secondary role in Tuscany. “We are all the prouder of our Il Bianco, which, with each vintage, continues to impress us and has developed wonderfully over time,” explains Barbara Widmer.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chronology 2000 – 2009 In 2000 Brancaia produced the TRE for the first time.
