The Talenti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino shows a lot of soft and ripe fruit with blackberry and cherry confit at the front. Spice, leather, crushed flower and potting soil follow in due course and so does the wine's impactful 15% alcohol. This wine is a bit thin and short on the mid-palate, but otherwise, this is a solid effort for this difficult vintage. Some 25,000 bottles were rolled out.

This red delivers an intense beam of cherry and red berry fruit notes, shaded by tobacco, sanguine and leafy vegetal flavors. Has a bright structure, but finishes on the dry side, revealing a spicy aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2038. 2,100 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
