Terrior
Situated in southern Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia, Tenuta di Trinoro’s vineyards are planted on high-altitude, mineral-rich soils that combine clay, limestone, and gravel. The region’s sunny days and cool nights, influenced by the surrounding Apennine Mountains, allow for optimal ripening while preserving acidity and complexity in the grapes. This terroir lends the wine both power and elegance, with an intense concentration of flavors and a mineral freshness.

Appearance
Opaque ruby with deep purple highlights, showing concentration and vibrancy.

Intense and complex, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and plum layered with notes of graphite, cedar, dark chocolate, and a hint of fresh herbs, adding depth and a sense of place.

Palate
Full-bodied and robust, with concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and dark cherry. Fine tannins and a balanced acidity provide structure and elegance, while additional notes of espresso, tobacco, and savory herbs emerge on the mid-palate, adding layers of complexity.

Finish
Long and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, mineral undertones, and a touch of spice, showcasing a refined and satisfying finish.

Overall Impression
The 2020 Tenuta di Trinoro "Le Cupole" is a well-structured, dynamic red blend that beautifully marries Tuscan terroir with Bordeaux varietals. Its bold flavors, polished tannins, and mineral-driven depth make it an excellent choice for pairing with robust Italian dishes, grilled meats, or simply enjoying as a complex, standalone red.
