2021 Palazzi

Tasting notes:

Conceived as a right bank Bordeaux, Palazzi is a 100% Merlot sourced from older vines. Aged for 6 months in French oak barrels and a further year in cement tanks. Aromas of plush red berry fruit balanced by an intense minerality. Rich and layered on the palate, it is approachable in its youth and has an elegant structure that can stand the test of time. Less than 2000 bottles are made every year.

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.
