The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is mysteriously dark and heady the display of smoke and ash and stone evolving to show crushed blackberries savoury herbs and hints of camphor. The textures are velvety and dense and a wave of mineral-tinged red and black fruit drenches the palate in primary depths of concentration. Beneath it all a coating of fine-grained tannins settle in slowly working to encase the senses with youthful tension and poise. Even still a lasting mix of cherries black tea and menthol carries on for what seems like a full minute. While I don't expect this to mature as gracefully as past renditions of the single vineyard Piero it's a total success for the vintage.

There’s freshness and balance to this 2017 Brunello, with dark-cherry, walnut and dried-flower aromas that follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a long, vivid finish. Nicely done for the vintage. Drink or hold.

The Talenti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is softly contoured and nicely balanced with a plush and enriched side that contrasts heavier aromas of spice and smoke. The wine reaches good balance while showing some of the density and extra concentration that you might associate with a hot vintage such as 2017. Fruit comes from a two-hectare parcel with galestro soils. Just 3,800 bottles were made.

One of the higher Vineyards in the region between 410-450 meters, Vigna di Piero is a 'selection massale' which was started in the 1970's by Pierluigi Talenti.
Quite dark in colour, brooding aromas of dark fruit, cherries, and black plums as well as dark mineral /smoke notes. The palate shows great concentration of soft sweet fruit but with a very firm tannin core.Finishes complex and powerful with great persistence.The wine is aged in a mixture of 500 liter and 2500 liter Barrels for at least 24 months.
