Collection: Tenuta di Trinoro

Bordeaux inspiration in southeastern Tuscany

In a remote and almost inaccessible corner of southeastern Tuscany, where the region meets both Umbria and Lazio, lies Tenuta di Trinoro surrounded by raw nature, wooded slopes, and a wild, almost untouched landscape in the Orcia Valley near Sarteano. It was here that Andrea Franchetti began work on his life's work in the 1980s - an uncompromising wine project that truly took shape in the early 1990s when the first vines were planted on land that had never been cultivated before.

Franchetti was deeply inspired by his experiences in Bordeaux, and his approach was clear: great wine begins in the soil. In Trinoro, he found what he himself described as a Tuscan parallel to Saint-Émilion's limestone and gravel soil - with pockets of blue clay and limestone, which in only a few parcels were suitable for viticulture. He cleared these parcels himself, often manually, and planted the vines with high density, meter by meter, following the classic Bordeaux model. The cuttings came from some of the most prestigious estates in Bordeaux.

Vineyard work and philosophy

Tenuta di Trinoro is defined by extreme selection and radical uncompromisingness. Yields are kept extremely low, work in the vineyard is meticulous, and only fully ripe grapes make it to the cellar. The grape material consists primarily of cabernet franc, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and petit verdot - varieties that in this warm, yet high-altitude and ventilated area achieve a rare combination of ripeness, structure, and freshness.

The style is dark, intense, and deeply concentrated, but always carried by a marked aromatic clarity and an almost perfumed finesse. These are wines with power and volume, but also with a precision and depth that make them just as fascinating in their youth as after many years of aging.

Bordeaux interpreted through Tuscany

Tenuta di Trinoro is not a copy of Bordeaux - but Andrea Franchetti's personal interpretation of Bordeaux virtues translated into Tuscan nature and temperament. Here, discipline and wildness meet, structure and warmth, international inspiration, and an extremely local expression.

Tenuta di Trinoro has achieved the ultimate recognition in the wine world, including the rare and coveted 100 points, cementing them as one of Italy's most uncompromising producers.

Their wines have achieved cult status among collectors and wine lovers worldwide - wines that challenge the notion of what Tuscany can be, and that stand as something truly special in the Italian wine world.
