Andrea considered the 2015 to be ‘one of the great vintages of Tenuta di Trinoro,’ and I have to agree. A hot start to the summer developed into a cooler August, and it remained cool through the rest of the season, with light and intermittent rainfall allowing the team to pick at will – harvest began on 21 September with the Merlot, and finished on 30 October with the last of the Petit Verdot. The final blend is 50% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot.  Still youthful and initially closed, aromas of smoky, dusty, tobacco-infused hedgerow berries, plum and floral notes begin to emerge with time in the glass. In the mouth it's very grippy, chewy even; a dense, sturdy style that's dark-fruited and muscular yet with some bright overtones. Earth and black pepper ring out, backed by a creaminess and very good acidity which adeptly balances the weight. Definitely one for the long haul, but patience will be rewarded! 8,400 bottles produced.
