Description

The flagship of the winery – the wine of the same name “Tenuta di Trinoro” – a surprisingly complex, juicy, delicious wine, which is a great achievement Andrea Franchetti. The grapes for “Tenuta di Treanor” passes strict selection and selection to taste, so the wine is produced in very small quantities. For the same reasons blend of wine from year to year may vary slightly. Method for its manufacture – the secret Franchetti. We only know that each variety vinified separately using natural yeast, grapes undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels to soften and micro-oxygenation, preserving the fresh taste. Maceration time varies from a few days to a few months, is that part of the Franchetti leaves of grapes for a few months in contact with skin. Aged wine in new French oak barrels, aging period changes every year.

2011 was marked by drought and high temperatures. On all other vineyards of Tuscany, especially those that are located less than 400 meters above sea level, it was decided to gather the grapes in mid-September, so it does not dry. A Trinorro decided to wait Drought and wait for the moment when the grapes reach their optimum maturity. Because of the heat stopped vine growth. Winemakers several times cut a bunch of dried berries, half the crop was lost. At the end of October, the cold snap that has provided fruit and berries expressive full maturity. It was during this period of time has been harvested.

Andrea Franchetti founded Tenuta di Treanor in 1992 with the aim to make the best wine in Italy. As a wine merchant, he was fascinated by the great wines of the right bank of the Bordeaux region. At its winery he wanted to repeat the experience of the wine while keeping Italian traditions. After several years of searching, Franchetti found the perfect place for your project, close to the village of Sarteano in southeastern Tuscany. Located high on a hill overlooking the river Orcia, Tenuta di Treanor protected from the influence of the sea from the west mountain Amiata and from internal mists from the east mountain Cetona. Calcareous soils rich in clay vineyards and gravel mixture. Planting vines began in 1992 with international varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, and a small proportion of the Italian grape Chezane d’Affile. Franchetti prozvodil two wines – “Tenuta di Treanor”, which is a blend of Cabernet Franc (80%) and the proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, and “Palazzi” created from an equal mix of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. These fabulous wines marked a great structure and concentration, layered flavor with notes of ripe fruit and spice volume, giving the wines exotic character. At the moment the wine “Palazzo” is not produced, and in the line of wines from Tenuta di Treanor appeared “Le Cupole” (Dome) – a blend of all four major varieties grown.
“This is – one of the new superstars of Tuscany, whose owner – Andrea Franchetti – gathered his first harvest in 1997. He is obviously a perfectionist and does some things that nobody has never been made with Cabernet Franc outside Bordeaux, perhaps, but a few California wineries. All wines are made from grapes Franchetti vines with low yields, using indigenous yeasts and micro-oxygenation, without filtration before bottling. I – fan of his wines with the first release, “- said about the winery Tenuta di Treanor famous wine critic Robert Parker.
