"Displaying a youthful magenta/ruby color, the 2022 Le Cupole is a blend of 57% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the remainder Petit Verdot. It was aged for eight months in barriques, followed by an additional 12 months in concrete tanks before bottling. In the glass, it reveals a ripe floral perfume of preserved strawberries, baked cherries, vanilla, crushed flowers, and sage. Full-bodied, it offers plush tannins, ripe acidity, and a savory finish. It's approachable and provides a lot of immediate pleasure, yet it should also easily drink well for another decade. Drink 2025-2037."

"The 2022 Le Cupole is a bomb. Ample, dense and super-expressive, the 2022 stains the palate with an exotic mélange of black cherry, espresso, licorice, mocha and dried flowers. This opulent, full-throttle Tuscan red delivers the goods."

"A spicy and peppery wine with aromas of eucalyptus, red cherries and leather. Silky, almost creamy tannins with crisp acidity and a medium body. Good licorice finish."

"The Tenuta di Trinoro 2023 Le Cupole hits its marks squarely, delivering luxurious quality at a highly accessible price point. The blend of 41% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot shows dark fruit flavors of blackberry framed by velvety richness that spreads broadly across the palate. Crafted from the same high-elevation Val d™Orcia vineyards as the estate™s flagship wines, Le Cupole benefits from the same rigorous selection and low-yield philosophy. The 2023 tannins are especially well managed, giving the wine a more approachable personality that suits near-term drinking. With a generous production of 80,707 bottles, this release represents outstanding value well beyond its category."

"Vibrant and complex, this red starts out with cherry, blackberry, rose and mineral flavors supported by bracing acidity and a dense layer of tannins. Overall, this is refined and intense, with terrific harmony and length. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot."
