Description
In a nutshell:
A rich and intense Bordeaux blend from southern Tuscany by the iconic Tenuta di Trinoro winery.
The lowdown:
Le Cupole is the second wine of the estate first made in 1995 and has quickly gained a big reputation and loyal following. It's a full-bodied blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a little Petit Verdot, aged in French oak barrels for 8 months and then 11 months in cement tanks before bottling. Big, rich and bold with expressive aromas of black cherry, plum, blackcurrant, leather, smoke and spice with some herby and earthy notes. The palate is broad with rich fruits and spice, robust tannins and a long finish.
The Producer:
In a remote corner of southeastern Tuscany, Tenuta di Trinoro produces rich, age-worthy red wines from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. This estate is tucked away in the Orcia Valley near Sarteano, where Tuscany meets Umbria and Lazio. Founder Andrea Franchetti began planting vines in the early 1990s, drawing on his Bordeaux experience to appreciate the crucial role of terroir. He saw parallels between the local clay-limestone and gravel soils and those of Saint-Émilion. Today, Trinoros wines are deservedly ranked among the best Super Tuscans.
When to drink:
Drinking well now and will keep through to 2030. This is a definite big red meat or roasted vegetables wine. Perfect with a big medium-rare steak.
