Description
Built on Cabernet Franc with a smaller share of Merlot, this is a Toscana IGT bottling from Tenuta di Trinoro in the hills of southern Tuscany. The 2021 is a full-bodied, deeply colored red that carries its ripeness openly, with alcohol landing on the high side at 15.5%, a wine made in a generous, expansive style rather than a restrained one.
What stands out here is texture: a silky, fine-grained feel that wraps ripe tannins around a core of blue and black fruit. Expect kirsch and blackberry confit alongside darker notes of chewing tobacco, cedar, pine, and toasted spice, lifted by crushed flowers, lavender, sage, and mint. It is medium-weight yet fleshy and deep, with a fresh line of acidity that keeps the long finish taut. Accessible young, though a few years in the cellar will let it stretch out fully.
Expert Reviews
The 2021 Tenuta di Trinoro is an elegant, sleek wine. I can’t remember tasting a Tenuta with this much textural finesse and silkiness. Ripe tannins wrap around a core of blue/black fruits, lavender, sage, mint and chocolate. Medium in body, yet also fleshy and very deep, the 2021 is positively stellar. What a wine!. (Vinous)
The 2021 Tenuta Di Trinoro pours a saturated red color and is layered and expressive, amplifying aromas of kirsch, chewing tobacco, pine, polished cedar, and crushed flowers. Full-bodied, it boasts ripe tannins accented with refreshing acidity that enhance its more nervous tension through the finish at this early stage. It requires some patience and will be worth cellaring for another few years. Drink 2027-2050. (Jeb Dunnuck, September 2025)
Made with Cabernet Franc and a smaller part Merlot, the 2021 Tenuta di Trinoro has a very generous and open-knit character with thick layers of dark fruit, blackberry confit, rhubarb, sweet earth and toasted spice. The wine's appearance is inky dark, and like the other wines in this portfolio of new releases, the alcohol is recorded at a high 15.5%. I have adored recent vintages of this wine, especially the 2019, and this 2021 feels a little more open and accessible in comparison. (Wine Advocate, March 2024)
