Bianco Trinoro is a wine made of 100% Semillon from a tiny parcel of sand located in the highest reaches of the Trinoro estate. The plot sits at about 600 meters above sea level and covers 5,141 square meters. The vineyard was planted partially in 2001 and then completed in 2006, with vine stock from Bordeaux; here, as elsewhere on the estate, the vines are densely planted a meter apart in the Bordelais style. The wine is highly aromatic with ripe, fruity notes, balanced by a lovely freshness and acidity that points to great longevity. Although we’ve produced the wine on and off since 2008, the first vintage released was the 2017.
The Wine Advocate, 92 points: “The Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Bianco di Trinoro shows immediate aromas of apricot, lemon curd and beeswax. Made with Semillon, this is a full-bodied white that treads elegantly, thanks to its waxy texture and the very lifted quality of the aromas. It does lack some freshness, but the wine has the textural grit to keep it going forward for some bottle age.”
