Tenuta di Trinoro 2008 is a flagship Tuscan red from Andrea Franchetti’s estate in the Val d’Orcia. This vintage is a blend of 35% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot grown on limestone and clay soils at high altitudes. The 2008 season was characterised by a long ripening period that allowed for intense concentration and silky tannins without excessive alcohol. On the nose it offers a dense bouquet of black currants, espresso, tobacco and crushed flowers. The palate is full-bodied and velvety with layers of dark plums, graphite and exotic spices that lead into a persistent and savoury finish.

Vinous
The 2008 Tenuta di Trinoro sweeps across the palate with layers of beautifully articulated fruit, violets, spices and minerals, while avoiding the heaviness and overripeness that characterized some of the wines of the past. The tannins and the oak both need several years to fully harmonize, but this is a soft, impeccably refined Tenuta to treasure over the next two decades, perhaps longer. The 2008 Tenuta is approximately 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Antonio Galloni1st October 2010
