The Rosso Toscana IGT "Palazzi" by Franchetti represents an extraordinary fusion of elegance and power, embodying the quintessence of the Tuscan terroir. Produced in limited quantities, this label is the result of a careful selection of the finest grapes, mainly Merlot, grown in the richly sunlit hills of Tuscany.

The color is intensely ruby, with reflections that sparkle with vitality. On the nose, the "Palazzi" is a triumph of complexity: notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, blend with spicy hints of vanilla and chocolate, enriched by a subtle touch of tobacco and leather, evidence of its maturation in quality barrique.

In the mouth, the wine expresses itself with a powerful yet balanced structure. The attack is vigorous, supported by velvety tannins leading to a long and persistent finish, characterized by a pleasant freshness that invites another sip. The well-calibrated acidity and aromatic complexity interweave perfectly, making the "Palazzi" a wine that promises excellent aging potential.

Ideal to accompany robust dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses, this wine also stands out as the star of an evening dedicated to tasting high-level wines.

The tasting experience of the Rosso Toscana IGT "Palazzi" by Franchetti is a sensory journey that celebrates the passion and innovation of Tuscan winemaking, destined to satisfy the most refined and demanding palates.

The group also includes Tenuta di Trinoro, with a parallel history of quality-driven research in premium vineyards.
Production philosophy
Wines focused on the terroir yet interpreted through precise viticultural and blending choices: surgical vineyard interventions, experimentation with grape varieties and targeted winemaking to express both the identity of the soil and a producer’s vision for premium labels.
Terroir and vineyards
