Sancaba 2019 Tenuta di Trinoro
The Sancaba 2019 Pinot Noir from Tenuta di Trinoro is a refined and intriguing label, reflecting Andrea Franchetti’s quest for the perfect terroir. The vines, at 650 meters above sea level, grow on calcareous-clay marl mixed with schist stones, in a wild and forested hilly area ideal for low yields and slow ripening. The cool climate, with significant diurnal temperature variation and constant north-east winds, enhances aromatic complexity and freshness.
Vinification occurs with separate fermentations in stainless steel tanks and large casks, followed by 6 months in second-passage barriques and 14 months in concrete tanks, producing a wine of elegance and balance. The ruby red color is immediately captivating, while the nose delivers intense aromas of red currant, raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry, floral notes, and delicate spice hints. On the palate, it is elegant, silky, with finely layered flavors and velvety tannins leading to a long, fresh, persistent finish.
The Sancaba 2019 is perfect for Pinot Noir lovers seeking a high-quality Tuscan wine, showcasing how Burgundy varieties can thrive in new territories. It pairs beautifully with white meats, light game, and refined dishes, representing one of the finest expressions of Tenuta di Trinoro and central Tuscany’s winemaking excellence.
