James Suckling
A great wine with vibrant cassis, red cherries, eucalyptus, violets and licorice on the nose. It’s precise and almost reductive, with smooth and elegant tannins on the palate, a silky texture, a full body and a warming yet well-balanced finish. Deep and complex, with a mint and tobacco aftertaste.

Vinous
The 2022 Tenuta di Trinoro is a heady, opulent wine. Inky dark fruit, new leather, incense, licorice, espresso, bittersweet chocolate and cloves all stain the palate. Unctuous and flamboyant to the core, the 2022 is a total stunner. It can be enjoyed young, as the tannins are rather soft, but I would prefer to give it a few years in bottle to allow some of the baby fat to melt away. This is the first vintage since 2015 that includes all four red varieties on the estate: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.

Wine Spectator
This is coiled like a steel spring, its blackberry, plum, licorice and earth flavors locked in an embrace of dense, burly tannins. Yet this is long and balanced overall, with lively acidity driving the finish. Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.
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.
