Tenuta di Trinoro – Le Cupole Rosso Toscana – 2015 – 6L

We are in Val d’Orcia on the border with Umbria and Lazio, in a corner of Tuscany where Andrea Franchetti, after many years of experience across the board in the Bordeaux area, discovers in Sarteano gravelly conditions and soils similar to those of St. Emilion. Right there, he decided to create Tenuta di Trinoro in the 80s and to plant the same grape varieties as Bordeaux. Absurd maniacal work in the vineyard, with high plant density and very low yields, minimal approach in the cellar, his wines are unique, full and warm. Great wines.
Le Cupole is their entry wine made from younger plants of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
The first vintage dates back to 1995 and has since become a supertuscan classic.
Aging in used barriques and final assembly in concrete tanks give us a rich wine, with fruity notes and a soft finish.
In this 6-liter vintage 2015, you will have a phenomenal fine. A rare format to find, but with even sharper and fuller flavors than the classic format.
