About this bottle

Introduced in 1888, Stravecchio Branca Brandy was the second product released by Fratelli Branca, following Fernet Branca. This Italian brandy originates from trebbiano grapes and undergoes an initial aging of 4-5 years. Afterward, it is transferred for 2-3 months into one of Europe's largest single casks, a Slovenian oak vessel known as the "botte madre" or "oak mother barrel," which is maintained at one-third capacity. The name "Stravecchio" translates to "extra old." This brandy became available in the US in November 2019 for the first time.

Why there's no score

We have 6 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
