Tenuta di Trinoro Le Cupole 2016

Tenuta di Trinoro Le Cupole 2016 This pure Sangiovese from the high plateau of Pieve Alzadura embodies the precise working methods of the winery, which relies on strict organic farming and the separate maturation of various individual plots. Maturation in large Slavonian wooden vats deliberately avoids new oak, allowing primary floral and terroir-driven aromas to come to the fore. The balanced 2016 vintage imbues this wine with a natural fruit concentration, a firm tannin structure, and a bright acidity, combining early drinking potential with contemporary aging capability.

The aroma reveals a broad spectrum of dark cherry, ripe wild raspberries, arrowroot, and hints of dry herbs leading to an elegant touch of cedarwood. On the palate, a complete impression of medium body, smooth tannins, and distinct minerality on the finish unfolds. Optimal drinking maturity begins now and ideally extends until 2034. Classics of Tuscan cuisine, such as wild boar ragout, millet pancakes with porcini mushrooms, or stuffed pasta with ricotta, are recommended as accompaniments. Together with grilled goat meat or aged Pecorino, its spicy and fruity facets unfold best.
