Le Cupole 2022 – Tenuta di Trinoro

Le Cupole 2022 – Tenuta di Trinoro

The Tuscan blend with a Bordeaux soul: rich, velvety, and instantly rewarding.

Le Cupole is the “second vin” of the famous Tenuta di Trinoro, but calling it a second wine would be an understatement. Born in 1995 from Andrea Franchetti’s vision in the wild and unspoiled Val d’Orcia, this Bordeaux-style blend has become a true cult classic for lovers of great Tuscan reds.

The 2022 vintage stands out for its extraordinary exuberance and gorgeous fruit ripeness. On the nose, it bursts with intense aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, sweet spices, and hints of tobacco and Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is sumptuous, velvety, and deep, backed by a vibrant freshness that keeps the wine incredibly dynamic and never heavy. The tannins are dense yet silky, leading into a long, pleasantly balsamic finish.

Fermented in stainless steel tanks and aged for about 8 months in second- and third-passage French oak barriques, Le Cupole 2022 delivers all the complexity and mastery of Trinoro in a version that is approachable right now, while still promising a beautiful evolution in the cellar.
