Tasting notes
This is a lovely Merlot from a hot vintage that walks a fine line by showing the elegant side of the grape without the excessive ripeness you might expect. The Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Palazzi delivers a big pleasure factor—in the best Merlot tradition—with a molten combination of sweet cherry and spice. The tannins are soft, and this full-bodied Tuscan red is textured and rich. The high alcohol content measures 15.5%, but that heat is hidden well within. This 1,235-bottle release is born in areas of clay and sand with lots of rocks at a cooling 450 to 600 meters in elevation.

The 2022 Palazzi, 100% Merlot, is laced with black cherry, plum, mocha and espresso. Soft, pliant and alluring, the 2022 will drink very nicely on release, even if there is a good bit of supporting structure to complement a core of juicy Merlot fruit. Pretty floral top notes and a kick of torrefaction linger on the close.
