Talenti Brunello di Montalcino 2017

A full-bodied, rich red wine with flavours of chocolate, savoury black cherry and bramble fruit, with a crisp mouth watering finish.

The Talenti estate is located south of Montalcino, close to the small medieval village of San Angelo in Colle. Ricardo Talenti has overseen plenty of improvements in both the vineyards and cellar since taking over from grandfather Pierluigi.

The Brunello comes from the pick of their older vineyards, planted in 1981, and then follows a precise wine-making process, creating a Sangiovese character that slides languorously out of the glass with cherries, leather and chocolate reminding us why Brunello gets the pulse racing quite so much.
