Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Monica Larner
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.

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. Better in 2016.
About the Producer
The Talenti winery was founded in 1980, when Pierluigi Talenti decided to buy the property and land that had so fascinated him and made him fall in love since the fifties, a period in which he decided to move from the mountains of Romagna to the sweet and sunny hills of Montalcino. Since 1999 the property is followed by the family under the direction of the Riccardo Talenti, who combines respect for tradition with a search for new technologies and an eye to the future continues the work with the same passion.Currently, the company has a total area of 40 hectares of which 21 hectares of vineyards, 16 are cultivated in Sangiovese, partly selected in the territory of Montalcino directly over the years by Pierluigi, from which he obtained a product of great character and personality.
