The Tenuta di Trinoro Toscana Palazzi Rosso is a robust red wine from the esteemed Tuscany region of Italy. It features a complex flavor profile with notes of dark fruits, spices, and earthy undertones, characteristic of the Sangiovese and other local varietals that thrive in the sun-kissed vineyards of this iconic wine-producing area.
This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised meats, aged cheeses, and hearty pasta recipes. It also complements grilled vegetables and savory stews, enhancing the overall dining experience.
The 2021 Palazzi is 100% Merlot. Dark red plum, blood orange, pomegranate, spice box and a kiss of French oak are all dialed up. Seamless and layered, with no hard edges, this sumptuous, exotic red hits all the right notes. What a gorgeous and utterly compelling wine it is.
In 2021, the grapes for Palazzi – the estate's 100% Merlot – were picked four days after the eventual mid-September rainfall which quenched the vines after an arid summer. Rich aromas of red and black cherry, cocoa, dried herbs and plum introduces a textural, glossy wine of good intensity lifted by some mid-palate menthol. Cocoa-infused red, black and blue fruits vie for attention. Dusty and earthy notes hang in the background while up front, balsam and black pepper emerge. The tannins are fine-grained, but feel slightly drying on the long finish. Ultimately, though, there's impressive balance despite the weight of the wine and its warming alcohol; the fresh acidity helps to give it poise and control.
The Tenuta di Trinoro 2021 Palazzi is 100% Merlot, although this vintage feels especially dark and brooding, pushing this often-docile grape to extreme limits. The wine taste ripe but not excessively so, although the 15.5% alcohol content is impossible to ignore. To the palate, the wine is velvety and rich, and you get intense end notes of blackberry, crème de cassis and dark spice. Everything is well integrated, but nothing is understated.
