Description
Our flagship wine, Tenuta di Trinoro is remarkably direct and appetizing, and yet it's made to last for decades. It is immediately riper and richer than red Bordeaux, benefitting as it does from the bright Tuscan sun, but is much more complex than other Italian Bordeaux blends. Like them, it is sold as a Rosso IGT, a wine with an Indicazione Geografica Tipica of Toscana, but there is nothing remotely typical about this wine.

Andrea Franchetti's estate is located in the Val d'Orcia, the southernmost part of Tuscany on the border with Lazio, where the Amiata and Cetona mountains, blocking the sea climate and fog of the Val di Chiana, favour a dry, continental climate and, for the altitude, very late in the year: the oaks lose their green at least a month later than in other Italian areas. The vineyards lie between 530 and 600 metres above sea level on very clayey and calcareous soils rich in minerals.
Until the 1960s, before the depopulation of the countryside, peasant wines of over 16 degrees were made here. Read more
