Winemaker Notes
The result of the 2021 Tenuta di Trinoro Campo di Tenaglia is a wine with more firm tannins marked by drought and by the different ripening times, but with a nose and a body strongly influenced by the cold that has arrived, vivid nose and dense but energetic and fresh body.
Blend: 100% Cabernet Franc

Wine Spectator
Though packed with dark fruit flavors of blackberry, black currant, plus violet, lavender and iron, this dense red is also vibrant and spicy, turning sleeker and more balanced as the ripe tannins converge with the fruit. A black pepper element lingers. Cabernet Franc.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Tenuta di Trinoro 2021 Campo di Tenaglia (made with 100% Cabernet Franc) is very rich and ripe with an almost granular feel that underlines the fruit weight, opulent aromas and the 15.5% alcohol content found within. Despite all that upfront intensity, the mouthfeel is just slightly tapered on the mid-palate. This gives the wine a slightly, ever so slightly, leaner texture.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
