The cuvée is born from the careful selection of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot grapes, harvested in the vineyards located in the greenhouses of the Tenuta di Trinoro, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia. The soil, rich in clay and gravel, imparts distinctive minerality and a depth of aromas that only this particular geographical area can offer.
The Rosso Toscana IGT from Trinoro has a deep ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet where intertwining notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and a light hint of dark chocolate and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, with a balanced interplay of acidity and well-integrated tannins that promise excellent aging potential.
Aging in French oak barriques adds layers of vanilla and toasting that blend perfectly with the fruit and spices. The elegant complexity of the wine concludes with a long and persistently aromatic finish.
The Rosso Toscana IGT - Trinoro - Franchetti is an excellent choice to accompany hearty dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses. Its robustness and complexity also make it ideal as a wine for contemplation.

Winery history
The Franchetti project brings together the wine productions associated with the Franchetti family, best known for their work on the slopes of Etna, where Andrea Franchetti reclaimed and replanted vineyards on abandoned terraces in the early 2000s. 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
The main productions cited online include the volcanic vineyards of Etna and the vineyards of the Val d’Orcia/Tuscany area. Etna wines are produced on volcanic soils rich in ash and lava rock; Tenuta di Trinoro works with blends that have matured in the Tuscan hills.
