Talenti Description

A selection of 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in estate-owned vineyards situated on the south-easterly and south-westerly slopes of the municipality of Montalcino, at altitudes carrying from 250 to 400 metres above sea level.

The soils are made up of sandy loam, with clay and plenty of Galestro marl heavy stone.

The wines age in 500-litre French oak tonneaux and 15 to 25-Hl Slavonian oak barrels for at least 24 months, followed by a period of bottle ageing.

The wine has a deep ruby red colour with garnet highlights, and an ample, slightly spicy bouquet.

It is full, intense, smooth and velvety on the palate, with sweet, elegant tannins.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

Whiffs of ripe cherry, licorice and truffle signal this elegant and enticing red. Light-weight yet intense, with fine balance and the structure for aging. Wild herb and mineral notes round out the flavor spectrum. Best from 2021 through 2035. 650 cases imported. — BS

Wine Advocate: 94 Points

The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino offers a soft and fruity interpretation of this slightly cooler vintage. The bouquet is lively and bright with loads of primary fruit at its core. That fruit (and the balanced acidity) will surely be the motor to drive this wine forward during the course of its future evolution. There is a point of sourness with well managed tannins. The finish offers flavors of dried cherry, moist earth and tobacco.

Vinous: 91 Points

Dark red. Musky aromas of red berries, smoky spices, violet and cola. Fresh and fruity, in a forward, silky, floral style, featuring fresh red berry and potpourri flavors. The rising finish echoes the sweet spice notes and offers delightful cut and clarity.
