Cellar
Andrea Franchetti pursues two different but equally important wine projects. The first was created out of nothing in Tenuta di Trinoro, in a remote area of abandoned woods and fields in the far south of Tuscany. As arduous and challenging as it was, this project was joined shortly afterwards by a second, equally important one, on the slopes of Mount Etna, which saw the recovery of old abandoned vineyards on the centuries-old terraces of the active Sicilian volcano.
Both projects stand out for their extraordinary complexity and the extreme diversity of their terroirs. From both estates, Franchetti derives a rich and diverse portfolio of wines. Each wine expresses the characteristics of the vintage, the specificities of the terroir and the full potential of the varietal used.
Description
Tenuta di Trinoro is a supertuscan by Andrea Franchetti. The wine was produced from a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that are vinified separately, following the different harvest times. This is a great Tuscan red wine that best interprets the characteristics of its Bordeaux grape varieties and the particular terroir found in this remote corner of Tuscany. Andrea Franchetti's unique style is evident in each of his vintages. Richness, concentration, depth and complexity are the cornerstones of this style.
Organoleptic characteristics:
