2014 Tenuta Trinoro Rosso Tuscana

This is the name of one of the houses on the property, Andre purchased the property in 1981, then went to New York to sell wine.  This wine is mostly Merlot with a bit of Cabernet Franc,                           

“Andrea Franchetti’s 2014 Tenuta di Trinoro represents the vintner’s definitive shift to a more elegant and focused style of winemaking. This wine was once celebrated for its super ripe aromas and sweet, jammy flavors. But this cool vintage hammers home a new approach that sees less bulk and density—something Franchetti has been enthusiastically embracing over the past five years or so. The results are stratospheric. The Tenuta di Trinoro property sees pretty high average temperatures in summer. The quality of fruit offers special grace and elegance in cool years like this. Among the many samples I have tasted across Tuscany from the 2014 vintage, Tenuta di Trinoro is a memorable wine and a landmark achievement.”– Monica Larner, Robert Parker, 94+ points
