Talenti Piero Brunello di Montalcino 2017

Drink it now or cellar for up to 25 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour.

Founded in 1980 by Pierluigi Talenti, the Talenti winery is located on the southern side of Montalcino, not far from the medieval village of S.Angelo in Colle overlooking the gentle valley of the Orcia river. Over the years, Pierluigi (Pietro, for his friends) has dedicated himself to the Sangiovese clonal research in the area and has managed to create wines of the highest levels of quality. Since 1999 the property has been managed by his family, under the direction of his nephew Riccardo Talenti.

Produced since 1981 with 100% Sangiovese grapes, coming from the best vineyards, Piero Brunello di Montalcino is the most representative wine of the Talenti winery. After careful vinification, the wine ages for the majority in oak barrels and for a small percentage in 500-liter Tonneau for two and a half years. It then rests for another 12 months in the bottle.

Piero Brunello di Montalcino has a splendid ruby red color. On the nose, the aromas are intense and elegant. There are notes of vanilla and red fruit. In the mouth, it is warm and round, with a great concentration of flavors. It reveals a structure and a complexity that will allow it to age beautifully. The finish is long and harmonious. Like all Brunellos, it goes perfectly with red meat or game but its favorite match is with pappardelle with wild boar ragu.
