TUSCANY’S SECRET
Segreto, Italian for secret, is finally ready to reveal what has kept its producers busy all of this time after seventeen years. And that is the production of the ultimate red wine in Tuscany. This is done in the Suvereto wine region (just past Bolgheri). Where Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grow on a small vineyard, enclosed by a wooded area. Azienda Agricola Biologica Brancatelli offers Segreto the three pillars which have made this wine fantastic: knowledge, craftsmanship and people.
This has created a rare wine which, matured in the very best French oak barrels, can compete with the absolute top Tuscan wines. The first bottles from the 2015 harvest year will see the light of day in 2023, produced with extraordinary dedication, a nature-friendly approach and an incredible level of expertise. Segreto is an extraordinary wine, with a character which is particularly appreciated by sommeliers in the top gastronomic field and experienced wine lovers who are fully aware that patience is an absolute virtue.
THE STORY OF SEGRETO
After many years of searching, three Dutch friends eventually found the absolute perfect place to produce Tuscany’s most secret red wine: Segreto. A completely isolated vineyard, small and flat, surrounded by trees and thickets. The exact location is Pratini in the municipality of Suvereto. Located in the southern part of Tuscany, not far from the island of Elba’s coast. The Cabernet Sauvignon grapes which grow on this vineyard, which measures just over one hectare in size, have secretly been producing Tuscany’s ultimate red wine for seventeen years.
KNOWLEDGE, CRAFTSMANSHIP
AND PEOPLE
Extraordinary dedication
All decisions are made by the team and collaborations are always focussed on quality.
Nature-friendly approach
The team has introduced a multitude of innovations, including the cleaning of the barriques every three months: washing and drying in order to prevent any possible brettanomyces (bacteria) and other wine defects.
Incredible level of expertise
You need to leave the specialist work to the real specialists. That’s why a team of local experts has made this red wine what it is today.
