Trinoro Le Cupole Toscana Rosso 2022

94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Le Cupole remains one of Italy's greatest value buys, especially for fans of concentrated, sun-drenched Tuscan reds. The fruit is ripe, but not overripe, and there are thick layers of blackcurrant and Morello cherry at the core. These are framed by toasted spice and cinnamon. The wine is medium to full-bodied, although the ample fruit weight gives this vintage a bigger overall mouthfeel. Drink 2024-2035 (Jul 2024)"

94 points Jason Miller (Decanter): "An intense and concentrated blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, this is one of the best-value fine wines in Tuscany. The first wine made at Trinoro by the late Andrea Franchetti continues to deliver the goods. Rich, dense and yet impressively balanced, this is dense and ageworthy with creamy yet fresh blackcurrant fruit, fresh thyme, charcoal and toast, and bags of ripe tannins on the palate. Drinking window 2025-2035 (Sep 2025)"

94 points James Suckling: "A fresh and vivid young Tuscan red with currant and mineral aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with crunchy tannins and a vivid finish. Creamy texture. A little tight at the end. Second wine of Trinoro. A blend of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Give it time to open. Best after 2026. (Apr 2024)"

93 points Audrey Frick JebDunnuck.com): "Displaying a youthful magenta/ruby color, the 2022 Le Cupole is a blend of 57% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the remainder Petit Verdot. It was aged for eight months in barriques, followed by an additional 12 months in concrete tanks before bottling. In the glass, it reveals a ripe floral perfume of preserved strawberries, baked cherries, vanilla, crushed flowers, and sage. Full-bodied, it offers plush tannins, ripe acidity, and a savory finish. It's approachable and provides a lot of immediate pleasure, yet it should also easily drink well for another decade. Drink 2025-2037. (Sep 2025)"

93 points Falstaff Guide: "Clear, dark ruby with a fine rim. Intense and elegant on the nose, ripe cherries, cedar wood, leather and cloves on the finish. The palate reveals hearty, sweet fruit, velvety tannins, fresh and juicy, with a lingering finish. (Oct 2024)"

92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Le Cupole is a bomb. Ample, dense and super-expressive, the 2022 stains the palate with an exotic mélange of black cherry, espresso, licorice, mocha and dried flowers. This opulent, full-throttle Tuscan red delivers the goods. Drink 2026-2032 (Feb 2025)"

92 points Wine Spectator: "This is polished and exudes black cherry, blackberry, cedar and sweet spice flavors. Also dense, with a line of tannins leaving a light dusting on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2036. (Nov 2025)"

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "I've always had a bias toward the Sicilian branch of the Franchetti wines—they're so agile and precise—but the Tuscan 2022 Le Cupole, ultra-crunchy, spicy, textured, could lure me north any day. (Apr 2025)"
