Tenuta di Trinoro

Großes von der Westküste: Schwarze Kirschen, Gewürze und Noten von Teer treffen auf eine sehr vielschichtige, opulente Frucht und ein feinkörniges Tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is a terrific wine that hits that proverbial sweet spot between excellence and value. The Tenuta di Trinoro 2018 Le Cupole is a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 37% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot that sees a brief eight months in second and third-passage barrique followed by some additional resting time in cement. This lovely vintage shows dark fruit intensity and richness with cherry, blackberry and plum. There is a touch of sweetness, but the mouthfeel is well constructed and layered with phenolic tightness and tight natural structure that will help it age 10 years or more. Le Cupole is one of the best values found in Tuscany." Robert Parker

Gerade einmal 2.100 Flaschen dieser 1,5 ha großen Cabernet-Franc-Einzellage "Campo di Magnacosta" (ein ehemaliges Flussbett mit vornehmlich Lehm-, Kies- und Schotterboden) gelangen weltweit in den Fachhandel und auf die Karten der besten Restaurants. Die Reben wurden Mitte der 1990er Jahre gepflanzt und stammen aus dem Pomerol. Magnacosta ist im Hinblick auf die aromatische Intensität der wohl sinnlich-eleganteste Vertreter der drei großen Lagen-Cabernets des Hauses. Er besitzt große Geradlinigkeit, dafür aber etwas weniger Kraft und Intensität. Er vereint auf höchst subtile Weise schwarze Fruchtaromen mit Gewürznoten, Teer und antikem Leder. Er präsentiert sich schon heute seidig und elegant und wird mit den Jahren sicher noch weiter an Finesse zunehmen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Campo di Magnacosta is ample and expressive, with a real sense of textural breadth that distinguishes it in this range. Super-ripe dark cherry, gravel, mint, spice and leather tones give the 2018 striking complexity. Incisive tannins need time to soften. Readers who can wait will be rewarded with a fabulous, deeply expressive wine. The 2018 Campo di Magnacosta is 100% Cabernet Franc from a site on an old river bed." Vinous

"Campo di Magnacosta is the lightest and more feminine Cabernet Franc of Trinoro’s cru (Magnacosta, Camagi, Tenaglia) based on this grape variety. It is a 1.5 hectare parcel of river gravel and silt on the valley's bottom, where an old stream ate into a hill (hence the name: magna is eat and costa is hillside). It was planted over 20 years ago with cuttings from a vineyard in Pomerol. Intense and elegant on the nose with an intriguing restrained brumble fruit, dried eucalyptus and spices, it combines great fruit definition and creamy palate with tight-knit tannins and lively acidity in background. Warm on the finish, yet well balanced." Decanter

"This is one of three single-vineyard expressions made by the talented Mr. Franchetti. The Tenuta di Trinoro 2018 Campo di Magnacosta (with only 1,950 bottles released) is powerful and complex. Campo di Magnacosta is also very elegant, showing a slow and careful approach that takes on volume and latitude as the wine opens aromatically. Give it time. Black fruit, Spanish cedar, charred meat, crushed river stone and exotic spice take center stage. The mouthfeel offers a lot of texture and succulence, but the finish is linear and structured. The wine's length ultimately translates into elegance." Robert Parker

Gerade einmal 1.650 Flaschen dieser 1,5 ha großen Cabernet-Franc-Einzellage "Campo di Camagi" (vornehmlich Quarz- und Kalkstein) gelangen weltweit in den Fachhandel und auf die Karten der besten Restaurants. Campo di Camagi ist ein sehr präziser und fokussierter Wein. Die hohe Qualität der Cabernet-Franc-Traube ist hier mit jedem Schluck spürbar. Schwarze Früchte und Gewürze befinden sich hier in eleganter Einheit und der volle, rassige Körper dieses Ausnahme-Weins wird sich erst in vielen Jahren vollends offenbaren. Legen Sie diese Flasche bitte unbedingt ganz weit weg! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Tenuta di Trinoro 2018 Campo di Camagi is a pure expression of Cabernet Franc from a two-hectare vineyard site that is farmed to very low yields at no more than six clusters per vine. Only 1,650 bottles were released. Like the others in this three-wine series of single-vineyard expressions, the Campo di Camagi sees a relatively short fermentation at up to 15 days in stainless steel, followed by eight months in new barrique and 10 months in cement. This vintage produces a beautifully lush and sweet bouquet with black cherry and blackberry as the undisputed protagonists. At 16%, you do feel the alcohol content. These sweet fruit aromas cede to pipe tobacco, spice and campfire ash. This wine steps forward in this vintage." Robert Parker

Gerade einmal 1.900 Flaschen dieser 0,8 ha großen Cabernet-Franc-Einzellage "Campo di Tenaglia" (in ca. 550m Höhe, vornehmlich Kalkstein) gelangen weltweit in den Fachhandel und auf die Karten der besten Restaurants. Undurchdringlicher, dunkler Wein mit einem Bouquet von Feuerstein, zerkleinerten Mineralien und etwas Kreide. Die Textur ist reich und opulent, aber stets geschmeidig mit einem Hauch Mineralität. Campo di Tenaglia ist einer der saftigsten Cabernet-Francs, den wir jemals im Glas hatten. Wunderschönes, langes Finale und ein sicherlich großartiges Lagerpotenzial. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Campo di Tenaglia, 100% Cabernet Franc, emerges from a tiny parcel measuring less than a hectare planted on limestone. Intensely floral and saline, the 2018 is bright and vibrant from the first taste, all in a medium-bodied style that offers considerable appeal. Time in the glass brings out a whole range of savory and intensely mineral notes to complement a core of bright red-toned fruit." Vinous

"Andrea Franchetti's Tenuta di Trinoro 2018 Campo di Tenaglia offers a classic interpretation of variety, vintage and territory. The wine shows the ample abundance and generosity of sunny Tuscany (with a powerful 16% alcohol content), contrasted against the linearity and sharpness of this mighty grape. Some cool spots during the growing season have contributed to the phenolic power of the wine, its lasting structure and the vivid freshness of the aromas. To the palate, this wine is enormously rich and generous with layers of black fruit, smoke, spice and barbecued meat. Among these three wines in the series, the Campo di Tenaglia delivers extra density and concentration." Robert Parker

Andrea Franchetti begann in den 1990er Jahren, Palazzi als ebenbürtigen Roten neben sein Flaggschiff Tenuta di Trinoro zu positionieren, mit dem Ziel, zwei Ausnahme-Weine zu produzieren, die an die linken und rechten Ufer von Bordeaux erinnern.

Palazzi repräsentiert die Rebsorte Merlot von ihrer besten Seite, mit sanfter, geschmeidiger Frucht, die durch intensive Mineralität belebt und beschwingt wird. Der Wein stammt aus einer Selektion älterer Merlot-Reben, die etwa fünf bis sieben Hektar umfassen. Mehrere Monate im neuen Fass fügen die entsprechende Komplexität hinzu, machen den Wein zugänglich und angenehm. Dieser Wein ist elegant strukturiert und hat ein grandioses Reifepotenzial. In Kleinmenge vinifiziert - gerade einmal 2.900 Flaschen entstehen jedes Jahr - gehört er nicht nur für uns zu den besten Merlots Italiens. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Palazzi, 100% Merlot, is plush, silky and so inviting. Like all of these wines, the Palazzi is quite overt, and yet all the elements come together so well. Dark raspberry fruit, chocolate, spice, leather, licorice all flesh out in the glass. Flamboyant and exotically ripe, Palazzi is a quintessential wine from Tenuta di Trinoro." Vinous

"During the 2018 vintage a strange wind and drop in temperature arrived in the Orcia Valley, thus Palazzi should be considered of a cooler vintage. 'In the last days of summer, we were dizzy with the silver of the new moon. From the 21st, there was a sudden density in the Merlot: the astronomy signaling. This variety is showing dark and soft, and we began bringing in twenty tons of grape a day. The juice was low in alcohol, high in acidity, rich in taste – complex Merlots, reminding one of Saint-Emilion,' said Andrea Franchetti. Dark and plummy, with precise fruit and clean leathery notes, full of floral layers and buttery sweetness at core, it will age developing balsamic notes now whispered. The tannin shows a great progression on the palate with noble extraction and an almost crisp mineral finish." Decanter

"The Tenuta di Trinoro 2018 Palazzi is a pure expression of Merlot that boasts seamless power, intensity and concentration. You are treated to a full-throttle expression from Tuscany that exudes generous black fruit, spice and sweet tobacco. Black cherry and plum give the wine soft contours and sweetness. Palazzi sees 15 days of fermentation on the skins and is racked into new barrels for eight months of aging. It is then put into cement for a final 10 months of rest. To the palate, the wine is structured and concentrated, suggesting a pairing with a succulent cut of red meat marinated in rosemary and olive oil. What a beautiful treat." Robert Parker

Von allen seinen Weinen bietet das Flaggschiff Tenuta di Trinoro den tiefsten Einblick in den Weinbau von Andrea Franchetti. Die proprietäre Mischung aus Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon und Petit Verdot auf Böden aus Kalk und Ton verändert Andrea jedes Jahr in Abhängigkeit von Qualität und Menge des Lesegutes. Die Trauben sind dabei stets die besten aus diesem Jahrgang. Franchettis eigener Stil ist in jedem seiner Weine und mit jedem Jahrgang zu erkennen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The leaner character of the 2018 vintage matched with the concentrated style of Trinoro, where the vineyards are planted 1m x 1m, give to this wine a unique balance. 'As we neared the end of August, we were looking at larger than usual clusters, not too sweet for the period, and unusually soft in their early fruit.' said Andrea Franchetti. 'The skins, thin as they were, were incredibly forward in colour – they stained the fingers! Usually, that happens in mid-October'. After that there was a drop in temperature and a firm wind which were able to concentrate the flavours of the grapes. The wine is restrained, full of eucalyptus, dried leaf and fresh cassis - almost minty in depth - but its best arrives from perfectly polished tannins and lively acidity. A dense wine full of elegance." Decanter

"The highlight in this range, the 2018 Tenuta di Trinoro is fabulous. A rush of raspberry jam, mint, blood orange, pomegranate and sweet spice races out of the glass. The Tenuta is opulent, and yet all the elements are so well balanced, so harmonious. In the 2018, readers will find a flashy, intense wine that is undeniably alluring." Vinous

"Andrea Franchetti's 2018 Tenuta di Trinoro reminds me of the wines he made a decade ago or more. This dark, full and concentrated red blend shows a good amount of the power and the ripe, fruit-forward appeal that I associate with the wines made from those golden years from 2001 to 2007. There is a beautiful fullness and opulence here that wraps thickly over the palate with blackberry, rum cake, charred meat and black licorice. This blend of 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot offers up aromas of spice, mahogany and some of the grilled herbs or rosemary that you would associate with the Cabernet. The finish is super long and rich, with elegant tannins and lasting fruit momentum. Despite that slightly retro or nostalgic full-throttle bouquet that I described above, the mouthfeel is more tapered, fine and ethereal that you might expect.  You get all sorts of surprises from this beautiful, soulful wine."
