2021 Talenti - Rosso di Montalcino (750ml)
Discover a Brunello-inspired Rosso di Montalcino from one of Tuscany’s standout estates. The 2021 Talenti Rosso di Montalcino delivers the terroir and winemaking philosophy you expect from a top Brunello, now accessible in a fruit-forward, food-friendly red.
Vineyard & Winemaking
Estate-owned vineyards sit on the sun-soaked southeast and southwest slopes of Montalcino, rooted in sandy topsoil, with clay and friable stones that add texture without heaviness. The wine’s maturation blends time in the bottle with purposeful oak treatment: about 60% of the wine rests in 500-liter French oak tonneaux and the remaining 40% matures in Slavonian oak casks. This hybrid approach preserves the bright, expressive Rosso di Montalcino character while layering subtle complexity and structure.
