Winemaker Notes
Crispness and varietal purity define the character of Palazzi 2023. This vintage marked by an almost endless summer and tempered by abundant rainfall has brought us rich, ripe, but above all lively fruit, lifted by a vibrant freshness. The sensations on both nose and palate go hand in hand in a sip of complexity and elegance, leading towards a long-lasting finish, reminiscent of Mediterranean herbs and autumn undergrowth.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Tenuta di Trinoro 2023 Palazzi, a 100% Merlot, shows a pronounced rich and savory side backed by solid structure and deep layers of texture. The wine drives volume with grace, moving across the palate with surprising poise and elegance despite its breadth. Sourced from the estate’s high-elevation remote Sarteano vineyards, Merlot is expressed here with notes of baking spice, blackberry and sweet blackcurrant.

James Suckling
A garden-variety wine with aromas of plums, cassis, ash and sweet spices. Medium- to full-bodied and youthful, it shows ripe tannins, refreshing acidity and a tight finish. Drink or hold.
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.
