Winemaker Notes
The 2022 Palazzi is the child of a vintage where the weather during spring and summer brought structure and concentration of aromas, while the September rains added joy and grace. The end result is a Merlot with lots of vibrancy and vigor. The bouquet reveals notes of dark berry fruits and cooking spices underlined by balsamic sensations, while the taste is rich and compact with velvety tannins and a long, long finish.

James Suckling
The polish and precision is impressive, with a refined and polished texture that runs the length of the wine. It’s medium-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish. Juicy and savory with citrus and fresh herb undertones.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This is a lovely Merlot from a hot vintage that walks a fine line by showing the elegant side of the grape without the excessive ripeness you might expect. The Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Palazzi delivers a big pleasure factor—in the best Merlot tradition—with a molten combination of sweet cherry and spice. The tannins are soft, and this full-bodied Tuscan red is textured and rich. The high alcohol content measures 15.5%, but that heat is hidden well within.

From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese).
