Description
The Tenuta di Trinoro estate has diverse soils. With their extensive root systems, vines over twenty-five years old can extract the flavours of these soils. Thanks to these soil features, the Cabernet Franc from these vineyards has been recognizable for years. Since the 2014 harvest, Tenuta di Trinoro has been bottling wines from three of these vineyards separately.

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.
