The Winespectator: 87/100 Points

Blueberry and milk chocolate character, with hints of toasty oak. Medium-bodied, with a solid core of fruit and a medium finish. Slightly bitter. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2011. 300,000 cases made.

The Winemaker

"Tre" is a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet. The grapes are carefully selected from our three estates Brancaia (Castellina), Poppi (Radda) and Brancaia in Maremma (Morellino di Scansano). TRE is a wine full of character giving you drinking enjoyment already at young age.

Stephen Tanzer: 88/100 Points

Dark ruby-red. A bit muted on the nose at first, hinting at red plum, violet and minerals. Juicy, slightly dry-edged flavors of blackcurrant, menthol and herbs are nicely firmed by sound acidity. Finishes moderately long if a bit simple, with fairly sweet, fine tannins.
