Tenuta di Trinoro IGT Toscana 2020

Tenuta di Trinoro provides the greatest insight into Andrea Franchetti’s approach to winemaking. The proprietary blend of cabernet franc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and petit verdot grown on soils of limestone, alluvial plain, and clay changes each year based upon which grapes are the best from that vintage. It is not wed not to any predetermined recipe, formula, or even flavor profile. Tenuta di Trinoro showcases the distinct terroir and grapes from this remote estate at the furthest confines of viticulture in Tuscany. Rich but not overly sumptuous in the nose, it’s characterized by small red fruits, currants and sour cherries, with delicate floral and herbal notes alongside a slight whiff of eucalyptus. it recalls the elegance of the vintage and the fresher temperatures that preceded the harvest of cabernet Franc. On the entry, an enveloping sense of richness, then persistent and compact, with lush tannins still structured for long-term aging. A long finish, with a salty note that encourages a return to the glass. This is the last vintage made by Andrea Franchetti in person.
