Tenuta di Trinoro 2013 (Double-Magnum)

Wineadvocate

This newest release comes from a significantly cooler vintage. Summer highs only reached 26 degrees Celsius, compared to 40 degrees on an average year. As a result, the 2013 Tenuta di Trinoro is symbolic of a revisited and fresher style that Andrea Franchetti hopes to achieve with this landmark wine. This wine definitely stands apart from the others thanks to its tight lines and detailed fruit nuances. Blackberry, dried cherry and red currant is backed by leather, spice and chewing tobacco. The cool growing season meant that fruit was harvested very late (at the beginning of November) and the acidity is indeed more pronounced. The wine was slow to open when I tasted it. Despite its initial shyness, this 2013 vintage is shaping up to be a wine of enormous beauty and elegance. It delivers the confidence and character to withstand a longer drinking window than most. - ML 12/2015

Vinous

The 2013 Tenuta di Trinoro is one of the most restrained wines I can remember tasting here. There is plenty of intensity and depth in the glass, but at the same time, the 2013 has a more classic, focused sense of structure that balances some of the more overt elements. I expect it will be a number of years before the 2013 is ready to show all of its cards, although it is undoubtedly striking, even at this early stage. Drink: 2021-2033.
