Tasting Notes

Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Oct 14
Dark red cherries, plums, smoke new leather, savory herbs, tobacco and spices meld together in the 2012 Magnacosta, Trinoro's 100% Cabernet Franc. Today, the flavors are quite raw and not fully developed, but the wine impresses for its energy, vitality and pure, radiant fruit. Readers need to be patient, but this is a great wine in the making.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
