2018
Beschreibung
In 1988, when the Super Tuscan trend was in full swing, the Swiss couple Bruno and Brigitte Widmer decided to realize their vision of a modern Tuscan top-quality wine with the Brancaia IL BLU.
With the 2018 vintage, this now globally recognized wine is celebrating its 30th anniversary with an outstanding year and in an elegant Anniversary edition: this includes a festive label and a noble wooden box with a Corten steel logo that, like the wine, matures over time and becomes even more beautiful.
IL BLU perfectly embodies the unmistakable identity of our winery and our vision of winemaking, which is based on an uncompromising commitment to quality and a great respect for nature.
