AboutTenuta di Trinoro
Andrea Franchetti bought the land for Tenuta di Trinoro in the 1980s and planted its first vines in the early 1990s. The estate lies near Sarteano in Tuscany’s Orcia Valley, close to the borders with Umbria and Lazio. His time in Bordeaux influenced his choice of clay-limestone and gravel parcels for the vineyards.
He planted densely, with Cabernet Franc at the centre, alongside Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The team thins the crop heavily and keeps yields low, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness before harvest.
Tenuta di Trinoro 2013 Palazzi
Italian Red
Ripe red stone fruit and raspberry open with wild flowers, white truffle and exotic spice. The palate is opulent yet animated, its generous Merlot fruit held in focus by bright acidity and silky tannins. Floral and savoury layers continue to shift with air, giving the wine more freshness and definition than its richness first suggests. The finish is long, aromatic and polished. Decant before serving with roast lamb, braised beef or porcini dishes.
Trinoro 2023 Le Cupole Toscana IGT
Italian Red
Bright garnet in the glass, with an intense nose of ripe damson, cherry and elderberry joined by subtle balsamic and savoury notes. The palate is lavish and juicy yet energetic, layering generous dark fruit over a balanced frame. Freshness carries the concentrated flavours into a poised, lingering finish.
