Talenti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte 2019

Among the 20 hectares owned by the winery, the 2 hectares of the vineyard Paretaio have been rendered unique in the last years by the wine they produce. During the years, this vineyard has been planted for a large part with a Sangiovese-clone selected personally by Pierluigi Talenti. The excellent exposure as well as the soil characteristics, which together create a unique micro-climate, contribute to the peculiarities of this Riserva, which is made only in exceptionally good years. Made with 100% Sangiovese-grapes, the Riserva is the result of careful selection when the grapes are being gathered, continues in the cellars during vinification and when the wine matures in barrels for a longer period than the normal Brunello, finishing with the ageing in the bottle before being sold. A rich wine with an ample range of aroma typical for the grape variety, intense ruby-red colour, fragrance of red fruit and morello cherry. Smooth, rich and elegant, with long persistency. A wine with body and structure; qualities which are accentuated and have the possibility to give their best with a long ageing period.
