The 2019 Campo di Tenaglia is elegant silky and wonderfully polished. Bright red-toned fruit blood orange mint spice incense and rose petal are all finely sculpted in a Cabernet Franc that impresses with its delineation and focus. Although a bit reticent at first the 2019 opens beautifully with time in the glass. - By Antonio Galloni on July 2022 Andrea Franchetti is no longer with us but his spirit is very much alive in these new releases from Tenuta di Trinoro. I usually don?t have a chance to taste two vintages side by side but doing so was really quite instructive. In general the 2020s are quite rich and potent while the 2019s offer greater aromatic intensity and more finessed tannins. The three Cabernet Franc selections are so individual and expressive while the flagship Palazzi and Tenuta bottlings are blends that are in a sense more complete. Speaking of the Tenuta the estate has decided to push back the release of that wine until next year which is why a review does not appear here. Last but certainly not least the Le Cupole captures all the personality of the top wines but at a more modest price. More than anything else though what I love about these wines is how distinctive they are. Andrea Franchetti crafted wines of uncompromising character throughout his remarkable career. These new releases perfectly embody that vision.
