The Cupole Trinoro Estate - Franchetti

Discover the Tuscan Bordeaux wine Le Cupole by Franchetti Wines, the second wine of Trinoro Estate. A blend of four Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot grape varieties, Le Cupole is an exuberant red wine, rich in ripe fruit and extracted tannins. Due to the cold the grapes ripened late and for this reason the wine obtained has a less dense body than other vintages but is fresher.
