Note di degustazione
Mild winter and spring with uniform flowering; relatively cool summer, and some very localised hail in early July ‘ that was a first at Trinoro which sits protected between two mountains’. First vintage made up exclusively of Cabernet Franc (48%) and Merlot (52%). Harvest: Merlot 24–30 September; Cabernet Franc 6–13 October. 6,000 bottles produced. Dark crimson. Heady, quite animal nose. Rich and sweet and utterly opulent. The tannins are a little less obvious than in the 2015 though they are certainly present. Great, dramatic wine. Some animal Merlot flavours – more than a hint of the right bank of Bordeaux! Stops a little suddenly. Juicier and more transparent than 2015. (JR)

The 2016 Tenuta di Trinoro is a truly gorgeous creation. The flagship wine from Tenuta di Trinoro is 48% Cabernet Franc and 52% Merlot (fermented in steel like the other top-shelf wines from this estate, followed by eight months in new barrique and 11 months in cement). The alcohol here clocks in at 15.5%, and you do feel it. This powerful Tuscan blend offers nice, ripe intensity and bold movements. It is rich and beautiful, layering out tranches of fruit, cinnamon and spice in perfect harmony. It is a full-bodied wine with some sweet cinnamon spice on the close. Some 6,000 bottles were made.
The 2016 Trinoro is one of the most extraordinary wines I have ever tasted from Trinoro and proprietor Andrea Franchetti. Deep and yet also silky, with exceptionally refined tannins and exquisite balance, the 2016 has so much to recommend it. Dark raspberry jam, white chocolate, mint and rose petal notes are all finely knit in this sublime, exquisitely beautiful wine. The finish alone boasts mind-bending intensity and persistence. (AG)
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot blend, grown at 450-600m. Dark crimson. Lifted aroma and silky texture to create a winning amalgam – so long as it is not served too warm. No alcohol in evidence, no oak. and surprisingly little tannin. Already pretty charming – surprisingly. More so than the single vineyard 2016 Cabernet Franc bottlings. But, combined with the potency, the apparent sweetness is a bit of a worry. I wonder whether some of these grapes would have delivered a fresher experience if they had been picked earlier? (JR)
