"PALAZZI" TENUTA TRINORO 2019
The Palazzi is next to the Tenuta di Trinoro, the other flagship wine of the estate. Andrea Franchetti began producing it with an eye towards the great Bordeaux merlots. At the beginning, in the years 1997-1999, it was blended with Cabernet Franc, but despite the good reception from the industry critics, Andrea Franchetti was not satisfied with it and stopped producing it for ten years. In 2009, the exceptional quality of the harvested Merlot convinced him to put it back into production and this time using only pure Merlot. Today the Palazzi offers the maximum expression of a great Merlot, with an intense and fleshy fruit, balanced by the right freshness and minerality. The aging in barrique gives it richness and complexity and makes it ready and immediately enjoyable
