Trentadue La Storia Cuvee 32 Red, Alexander Valley
This Cuvee 32 is the 21st vintage of this blend for Trentadue Winery. In retrospect the “Super Tuscan” blend has been highly successful and consistently our top selling wine in the Tasting Room. Every vintage has uniquely different blend determined by the best expression of its components and how they work together. The young Montepulciano has become an important player in the blend as well as the Brunello Clone Sangiovese. This vintage produced wines with dark red color, bright fruit and firm acidity and well-structured tannins destined to age well. This Cuvee 32 has intense cherry/cassis aromas contributed by the Sangiovese followed by deeper red fruit aromas of plums, blueberry, and a hint of pomegranate. Typical for the blend is an enticing mixture of herbs and spices making the wine particularly enjoyable with Italian style food. With more air the wine shows more complex yet still in developing stage aromas and flavors of cocoa, cinnamon, leather, and black licorice. The mouth feel is medium to full with relatively high, food friendly acidity and a long and fresh finish. Drink now through 2028.
