2010 | Talenti | Brunello di Montalcino

A layered and rich red with a light prune, plum and berry character, as well as hints of walnuts. Full-bodied, chewy and tannic yet showing polish and refinement. An almost iodine undertone.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Talenti's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino sees fruit sourced from the Sant'Angelo in Colle subzone of the appellation. This is a very satisfactory expression with pretty mineral tones of ash and crushed stone that form sharp contours against ripe fruit, prune and blackberry. The wine is linear and extremely well defined. The high quality of fruit happily comes through with confidence and intensity. Talenti offers the best of both worlds: This is a wine that can age or you can opt to drink it sooner with red meat or game dishes. I love the energy and acidity on the finish.

• Wine Spectator: A layered and rich red with a light prune, plum and berry character, as well as hints of walnuts. Full-bodied, chewy and tannic yet showing polish and refinement. An almost iodine undertone.

Producer Information

Azienda Agricola Talenti is a Tuscan wine estate located south of the village of Montalcino. It was founded in 1980 by Pierluigi Talenti when he purchased the Pian di Conte farm, and is now run by his grandson Riccardo.The estate has about 21 hectares (52 acres) of extremely low-yielding vineyards. About 16 hectares (40 acres) of this is planted to the Sangiovese Grosso clone, with the remainder planted to a mix of indigenous and international varieties.At harvest, the grapes are hand-picked and sorted on a vibrating table. They are fermented in modern temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.The wines are aged in large casks made from either Slavonian or French oak. A proportion of smaller French oak barrels (barriques) is also used.Talenti makes a range of classic Montalcino wines – two Brunello di Montalcinos, a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva and a Rosso di Montalcino.
