Description
Still red wine from Tuscany, 15.5% ABV, produced by Tenuta di Trinoro. Blend: 60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc. 0.75L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine that embodies the power and elegance of Tuscany, with a masterful nose and impressive structure. Tenuta di Trinoro began its winemaking activity in 1992. The first production dates back to 1995, and the wines have been on the market since 1997. It has a masterful nose, with clear, juicy notes of wild berries, cherries, morello cherries, peonies, dog roses, hints of noble vegetal notes, cedar, and dark tones of black olives, mentholated tobacco, balsamic resin, dark spices, a hint of cocoa, and an intense mineral layer. Deep ruby color, rich consistency. The imposing and juicy structure is imbued with vigorous tannin and a very long finish, characterised by lactic hints, licorice and fine woodiness.

The Founder, Andrea Franchetti acquired the property in the 1980s and in the beginning of the 1990s started planting his first vines. The most important lesson he gleaned from a stint in Bordeaux was the crucial role played by terroir. He saw, in the rough woodland that would become Trinoro,clay-limestone and gravel soils reminiscent of those in Saint-Émilion. Only select parcels were suitable for vine-growing, amid a sea of blue clay, and those he cleared by hand and planted in the style of the Bordelais: high-density, meter-by-meter plantings, with cuttings brought over from some of the region’s great estates.
