Tasting notes
Warm spring was followed by a mild summer and cool, protracted ripening period. Andrea Franchetti: ‘ rains fell intermittently but were light, with happy drying periods, until November; that cool moderate weather let us go harvesting in each vineyard after the proper waiting time.’ Great vintage for Trinoro, according to Franchetti. 50% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot. Harvest: Merlot 21–25 September; Cabernet Franc 8–12 October; Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot 25–30 October. 8,400 bottles produced. Lustrous crimson. Sweet and rich and what a contrast to the 2014! Luscious and velvety. Spreads right across the palate. Rich, hedonistic impact and lots of ripe tannin still. Still quite youthful. Lots of development still to come. (JR)

The 2015 Trinoro is soft, silky and nuanced. Although a very pretty and expressive wine, the 2015 doesn’t quite have the dimension or complexity of the very finest years. Admittedly, that is a very high bar. Today, the 2015 comes across as a bit understated and hushed, two adjectives I can't believe I am using to describe a Trinoro wine. Time in the glass finally allows the 2015 to start opening up. I would cellar the 2015 for at least a few years, as it is not close to being fully expressive.
The gorgeous 2015 Tenuta di Trinoro pours into the glass with inky dark richness that is beautiful to behold. This wine is made primarily with Cabernet Franc but has some Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot mixed in as well. Although Andrea Franchetti had retreated from his trademark overripe style in recent years, you get a nostalgic glimpse of it here. The warm growing season has conspired to create a rich and textured red wine with aromas of blackberry preserves, cherry confit and subtle baking spice. This is a charming and exuberant creation that is open and loud even at this very young stage in its long and promising lifespan.
50% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot. Merlot harvested 21 September, Cabernet Franc harvested 12 October, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot harvested 22 October. Magnum. Dark crimson. Minty and intense nose. Svelte and racy. Very sophisticated, salty and fresh. Great ingredients. Jewelly. Glamorous and dramatic. (JR)
