The 2006 Tre is an accessible, perfumed wine with attractive dark raspberries, flowers and spices. The wine offers lovely density and richness, yet some uncharacteristic green notes in the background detract from the wine’s overall balance. Tre is 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is another highly successful line-up from Brancaia. The high-end 2006 reds are particularly of note.As we went to press, Brancaia announced that effective July 1, 2009 the estate’s new importer will be The Hess Collection, Napa , CA; tel.
