2021 Tenuta di Trinoro, Magnum

Tasting notes:

The flagship of the estate is a vintage-specific blend and the best insight to Andrea’s approach to winemaking. Sourced from vines at higher altitude, it is the result of a selective blend and less than 8,500 bottles are made on average every year. Aged for six to eight months in French oak barrels of various sizes (15 to 20% new). Only the best barrels are selected and aged for 12 months in concrete tanks and a further 12 months in the bottle before release. This is a rich, deep, complex and structured wine which will develop in the bottle over time.

Producer description:

Located on the rolling hills of Val d’Orcia, Tenuta di Trinoro was acquired by Andrea Franchetti in the 1980s. Viticulture never took place before his arrival and no one believed in his project however, he was determined to make world-class wines. By lowering the yields to create deep wines full of flavours, Andrea has achieved his mission and created a true Super-Tuscan which is now sought-after by collectors. Today, his son Benjamin continues his vision. All the wines are biodynamic.
