Of all its wines, the flagship Tenuta di Trinoro offers the deepest insight into the Franchetti family's viticulture. The proprietary blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from limestone and clay soils is adjusted each year depending on the quality and quantity of the harvest. The grapes are always the best of the vintage and come from the very best plots. The unique style of this Tuscan wine icon is recognisable with every vintage.

The vintage is deep and pure with a solid core of black fruit framed by an elegant contour of spice, tobacco, smoke and crushed stone. On the palate the wine is long and the finish can be counted in minutes, the whole experience is beautifully lean and velvety. SUPERIORE.DE

"Initially chaste, then multi-layered flavours of stone fruit, fresh flowers, maquis and undergrowth; superb structure with complexity, the powdery tannin precisely placed, the acidity provides the verve, finishes long and seductive. A great wine that still needs to mature." Vinum

"Rich, dark ruby violet colour. Complex and intense on the nose, showing nuances of cassis, dark chocolate, tobacco and subtle spicy components. Fills the palate, plenty of sweet, dark berry fruit, lots of fine flavour, polished, dense tannins, pithy final." Falstaff

"Super clean and rich with ripe currants on the nose, together with floral notes of violets and bright spices, such as nigella seeds and cardamom. Medium- to full-bodied with a very focused drive through the palate. The bright spices latch onto the firm tannins and combine with the fruit to give a long, vibrant finish. This is very tight and brimming with life. Needs a year or two to soften the tannins, but already showing class." James Suckling

"The sweet richness of vanilla bean, toasted coconut, blackberry tart and milk chocolate on the nose then evolves to reveal the savory flintiness of soil, graphite, spices and pepper. Tart and sweet blackberries and cherry syrup on the palate top an indulgent slice of flourless chocolate cake, with a sprig of fresh mint for garnish. A long, dynamic finish is guaranteed with the support of athletic tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"Displaying a ripe, fleshy nose of black and red hedgerow berries, along with touches of sous bois, currants, bitter herbs and floral notes, this is an immediately appealing Trinoro 2021. In the mouth it conveys brightness along with depth and sapidity of succulent dark fruits, all the time lifted by a balsamic character. This features fine, grippy tannins and fresh acidity which lurk on the periphery, supporting the fruit without interfering. Vertical, succulent and bright, with some sweet violet, tobacco, damp earth and graphite notes emerging on the long and poised finish." Decanter

"Juicy and packed with black currant and blackberry fruit, this red is bright and balanced, with graphite, tobacco and black pepper elements adding complexity. Refined tannins are well-integrated with the graceful profile, while the lingering finish adds graphite, olive and oak spice details." Wine Spectator

"the 2021 Tenuta di Trinoro has a very generous and open-knit character with thick layers of dark fruit, blackberry confit, rhubarb, sweet earth and toasted spice. The wine's appearance is inky dark, and like the other wines in this portfolio of new releases, the alcohol is recorded at a high 15.5%." Wine Advocate
