Tenuta del Trinoro 2015

95/100 PP

"The gorgeous 2015 Tenuta di Trinoro pours into the glass with inky dark richness that is beautiful to behold. This wine is made primarily with Cabernet Franc but has some Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot mixed in as well. Although Andrea Franchetti had retreated from his trademark overripe style in recent years, you get a nostalgic glimpse of it here. The warm growing season has conspired to create a rich and textured red wine with aromas of blackberry preserves, cherry confit and subtle baking spice. This is a charming and exuberant creation that is open and loud even at this very young stage in its long and promising lifespan."

"The 2015 Trinoro is soft, silky and nuanced. Although a very pretty and expressive wine, the 2015 doesn´t quite have the dimension or complexity of the very finest years. Admittedly, that is a very high bar. Today, the 2015 comes across as a bit understated and hushed, two adjectives I can't believe I am using to describe a Trinoro wine. Time in the glass finally allows the 2015 to start opening up. I would cellar the 2015 for at least a few years, as it is not close to being fully expressive."

"If I were to attempt to summarize Franchetti's approach to wine, I would settle on the word: 'oneness.' Here we have a single man, who makes a wine of a single style at the only wine estate that exists in this unexplored region."
