“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.” WA

Tenuta di Trinoro

Located in a remote corner of southeastern Tuscany Tenuta di Trinoro specializes in rich age-worthy red wines made of Cabernet Franc Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. The 200-hectare estate sits in viticultural isolation in the Orcia Valley near Sarteano where Tuscany meets Umbria and Lazio. Owner and winemaker Andrea Franchetti acquired the property in the 1980s and in the beginning of the 1990s started planting his first vines. The most important lesson he gleaned from a stint in Bordeaux was the crucial role played by terroir. He saw in the rough woodland that would become Trinoro clay-limestone and gravel soils reminiscent of those in Saint-Émilion. Only select parcels were suitable for vine-growing amid a sea of blue clay and those he cleared by hand and planted in the style of the Bordelais: high-density meter-by-meter plantings with cuttings brought over from some of the region’s great estates. Tight planting high thinning very low yields extreme ripeness and concentration of flavor characterize his winemaking style. The wines are highly perfumed and opulent at once approachable and meant to be left to develop in the bottle over time.
