Tenuta di Trinoro Campo di Tenaglia 2021

100 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Trinoro’s 2021 Campo di Tenaglia is insanely beautiful. Rich, deep and ample, the 2021 exudes character from start to finish. Macerated black cherry, espresso, licorice, incense and chocolate all build in the glass, but it is the wine’s screaming Cabernet Franc character that really steals the show. The long, substantial finish makes it impossible to resist a second taste, and then a third. This 0.8-hectare parcel at 1,700 feet in elevation planted on crumbled limestone and clay yields a Franc of world-class complexity and pedigree. It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, riveting wines I have tasted in some time. Don’t miss it! Drink 2028-2041 (Feb 2025)"

96 points Wine Spectator: "Though packed with dark fruit flavors of blackberry, black currant, plus violet, lavender and iron, this dense red is also vibrant and spicy, turning sleeker and more balanced as the ripe tannins converge with the fruit. A black pepper element lingers. Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2043. 125 cases made, 39 cases imported. (Oct 2024)"
