Tasting notes
Tenuta di Trinoro's 2011 Magnacosta is 100% Cabernet Franc made from cuttings sourced from one of Pomerol's most prestigious estates. Plums, black cherries, mocha and espresso all wrap around the palate in a incredibly juicy, opulent wine. The 2011 is super rich and concentrated, but it works. This is the most immediate of Tenuta di Trinoro's high end bottlings.

Aged eight months in French barrique and ten months in cement, the 2011 Magnacosta is a pure and unforgiving expression of Cabernet Franc. The density is startling and the wine peels back in thick layers to reveal a dark heart of black fruit, black pepper and tobacco. You can taste its chewy ripeness down to the last delicious drop. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028. Andrea Franchetti is one of the most extreme winemakers in Italy who prefers massively reduced yields and richly extracted fruit. His winery is located in Sarteano, southern Tuscany. Importer: T. Edward Wines; www.tedwardwines.com
