2022 Tenuta di Trinoro - Toscana Rosso IGT Campo di Magnacosta

Sourced from just 1.5 hectares of river gravel and silt in southern Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia, the 2022 Tenuta di Trinoro Toscana Rosso IGT Campo di Magnacosta delivers a precise benchmark of single-site Cabernet Franc. Originally planted with cuttings traced to a Pomerol estate, these steep terraces yield extremely low volumes that concentrate phenolic richness without sacrificing structure. A dry summer favored early ripening across the small crop, while timely September rains cooled the harvest window, locking in bright acidity and aromatic intensity.

Fermented in stainless steel for ten to fifteen days, then matured five months in French oak followed by a year-long rest in cement tanks, this bottling presents a distinctly pale garnet hue. The bouquet reveals sharp red currant and wild strawberry interlaced with flowering mustard blossoms, backed by dried thyme and sun-baked stone. The palate traces a lean path with polished tannins, mineral-driven depth, and a lingering herbal lift characteristic of the site’s cooler microclimate.

This wine pairs best with robust proteins and deeply savory sides. Serve alongside roasted duck, grilled lamb chops, or slow-cooked dishes built on mushrooms and toasted walnuts. Its structured entry and vibrant finish make it equally suitable for immediate enjoyment alongside hearty winter meals or for medium-term cellar development.
