Talenti’s Brunello di MontalcinoPiero has been created as a tribute to the work of Pierluigi Talenti, who has worked passionately with Sangiovese over the years. A vineyard measuring 1.95 Ha, not far from the winery, with unique soil and climate characteristics, distinguished from all the others by its attributes of constant quality. The slightly sloping land, surrounded byforests andrich in galestro clay, enjoys south-easterly exposure at an altitude of 410 m MSL. It is here that Pierluigi developed his personal clonal selection in the 1970s. Intense and persistent in character, with a ruby red color and elegant tannins. Wineages for at least 24 months in tonneau and rests in bottle for several months waiting for release.

  One of the standouts of the vintage, the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Piero starts out dark and understated in the glass, slowly coming to life with an array of dusty rose, dried strawberries, crushed plums, smoke and hints of fresh mint. Its velvety-smooth and potent on the palate, showing admirable weight for the vintage, yet also refinement, as wild berry fruits are carried across a core of brisk acidity, and inner violet florals form toward the close. The 2018 finishes with a bitter tug of sour citrus and tart currants, yet it maintains a fresh personality, as grippy tannins linger around the perimeter of the palate, and hints of lavender slowly fade.
