2015 Talenti | Brunello Di Montalcino Piero

Detailed Description

Selezione Piero has been created as a tribute to the work of PierLuigi Talenti, who has selected and worked passionately with Sangiovese over the years. A vineyard measuring 2 Ha, not far from the cellar, with unique soil and climate characteristics, distinguished from all the other vineyards by its characteristics of constant quality. The slightly sloping land surrounded by woods, rich in galestro clay, enjoys south-easterly exposure at an altitude of 410 m above sea level. It is here that PierLuigi developed his personal clonal selection in the 1970s.

Reviews:

• Vinous: Deep red with ruby tinges. Sassafras, black cherry jam, ink, herbs and balsamic oils on the nose and in the mouth. Wonderfully sweet, rich and deep, but with near-perfect balancing acidity to frame the wine’s lush fruit. Finishes with noble tannins and palate-saturating persistence.

• Decanter:  Named after the founder of the winery, this inaugural release of 2,666 bottles sports a much bigger and darker frame than Talenti’s classic Brunello, and it offers a whole new level of heft and intensity. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Piero has a wider and heavier center of gravity, with plenty of dark fruit aromas, some fresh but mostly dry. The bouquet also brings forth customary notes of tar, tilled earth, spice and tobacco. It paints a complete picture of the warm vintage, only with more styling and flashiness.
