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.
