Le Cupole has been the accessible entry point into the world of the legendary Tenuta di Trinoro since 1995, but "accessible" never means compromise at this visionary winery. In the Val d'Orcia, where southern Tuscany is wild and unspoilt, near Sarteano on the border with Umbria and Lazio, the eccentric scion of the Cinzano empire and nephew of the American painter Cy Twombly created a wine paradise at an altitude of 500 to 700 metres, which was initially thought to be crazy. Le Cupole is made from the same Bordeaux blend as the great Tenuta di Trinoro – merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot –but comes from younger vines on deeper, less extreme soils. The proportions vary depending on the vintage in order to optimally interpret the characteristics of the harvest.

In the glass, the 2023 presents itself in bright ruby red with garnet reflections and unfolds a bouquet of intense fruit: ripe Amarena cherry, blackberry and dark plum merge with notes of blackcurrant and cassis, while spicy accents of sweet tobacco, liquorice root and a hint of mocha lend depth to the bouquet. Balsamic nuances and a fine floral note complete the aromatic profile. On the palate, this Le Cupole is velvety and voluminous, with fleshy, bright fruit and well-integrated, silky tannins that envelop the palate like a caress. The structure is powerful and concentrated, perfectly balanced in all components, supported by a lively acidity that gives the wine freshness and drinkability. The finish is long and expressive, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and a fine toasted flavour. A Supertuscan of remarkable accessibility, elegance and potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense, bright ruby red with violet reflections. Cherry, fresh rosemary and cloves as well as a hint of leather on the nose. Juicy and balanced on the palate, harmonious interplay of acidity and tannins, spicy, lingering final." Falstaff

"Promising bouquet of Amarena cherries, violets and herbaceous notes; the powdery tannins and fine acidity in perfect balance, elegant progression to a fruity-floral finish. Excellent with a brasato." Vinum

"Vibrant and complex, this red starts out with cherry, blackberry, rose and mineral flavors supported by bracing acidity and a dense layer of tannins. Overall, this is refined and intense, with terrific harmony and length. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot." Wine Spectator

"A spicy and peppery wine with aromas of eucalyptus, red cherries and leather. Silky, almost creamy tannins with crisp acidity and a medium body. Good licorice finish." James Suckling
