Tenuta di Trinoro was born from the intuition of Andrea Franchetti, who entered the world of wine production in the 90s upon buying a disused farmhouse near the town of Sarteano. On this property, Andrea Franchetti decided to plant international varieties and to apply what he had learned from the great Bordeaux masters, with the aim of maintaining a high quality of product, low yields, and carrying out drastic bunch cutting by harvesting only at full phenolic ripening. This allows for a very high concentration of substances within the selected bunches, essential for expressing the relationship and harmony between the soil, the variety and the climate. The Tenuta di Trinoro Super Tuscan is a Bordeaux blend, produced with different percentages of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon depending on the vintage. The grapes are grown predominantly in clay soils with some limestone and quartz. The harvest is manual and, following the alcoholic fermentation, the wine rests for 8 months in French oak barriques and for a further 11 months in cement tanks. In the glass, the wine has a concentrated ruby red colour, with light garnet reflections. The nose is incredibly colourful: from hints of ripe red berries to dried lavender, with intense notes of juniper and marjoram. Thanks to the fine and elegant tannins, the wine is full-bodied and round on the palate with plenty of freshness and small touch of citrus. With an incredible persistent finish. Perfect for special occasions and ideal for collectors, it goes well with red meat and dishes containing truffle.
