Tenuta di Trinoro 'Campo di Tenaglia ' Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2022

Located in a remote corner of southeastern Tuscany, Tenuta di Trinoro specializes in rich, age-worthy red wines made of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot. The Estate sits in viticultural isolation in the Orcia Valley near Sarteano, where Tuscany meets Umbria and Lazio.

"The Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Campo di Tenaglia is Cabernet Franc from a 0.8-hectare parcel with limestone aggregate sandy soils at 500 meters above sea level. The wine appears the ripest to me, almost sticky in consistency, with chewy blackberry, spice and campfire ash. The alcohol is recorded at 15%, and the aromas do lean to the cooked side of the spectrum. This is a full-bodied expression that prizes volume and textural richness." Wine Advocate 93
