Talenti Brunello Di Montalcino 2020

In the 1950's Pierluigi Talenti moved from Romagna to the gently rolling and sunny hills of Montalcino. After a few years, he decided to acquire the estate and all its lands he had fallen in love with. Through the years, he devoted his time to the clonal research of Sangiovese all over Montalcino, taking his wines to the highest levels of quality. Today, his grandson Riccardo Talenti runs the winery and continues that research with the utmost respect for tradition, working with the very same passion and determination.

93 Points - James Suckling

Floral style to this tense Brunello, together with cherry jam in a positive, delicate way. Medium- to full-bodied and firm with chalky tannins, yet ripe and refreshing acidity. Juicy overall, with a touch of blood orange in the aftertaste. Drink from 2025 or hold.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Talenti 2020 Brunello di Montalcino (with 21,000 bottles made) shows a savory side with cigar smoke and cured leather that cede to dark fruit and baked blackberry. There is a hint of earthy minerality that adds focus and sharpness to the wine's medium-bodied finish. The 2020 vintage is a bit leaner on the mid-palate.
