I will be taking the train from Rome Termini Station to Camuccia-Cortona on Sept 5 but it does not yet appear that Trenitalia has tickets available yet for the Fecciarosa High Speed train yet except for one on the following day. My trip is only 88 days away. Is this normal?

Using Frecciarosso trains actually takes longer than using IC and regional trains, You have to go to Florence, then back track. I see a direct regional train at 8:20 am that takes 3 hours, 1/2 hour less time than going by Freccia, and it is only 15.60 EUR. Always the same price, so you can wait until departure day to buy a ticket.
But as to the reason, there is an ongoing construction project in Florence. some Saturdays are blocked in the schedule until they have more precise information on the construction progress.

That is very kind of you to reply - thank you. We will need to leave about 1:30 PM and I like to travel in Executive class on Fecciarosa. Just seems wierd becasue we're in the less than 90 day window and still no options.

See my edit, but even with trains running normal, I don't see any departure with Freccia trains after 12:10 pm. So if you want to leave after 1:30 pm, you need to take regional trains.
