2023 Talenti - Rosso di Montalcino (750ml)

The 2023 Talenti Rosso di Montalcino offers refined structure through 100% Sangiovese grown on terraced slopes at the historic Pian del Conte estate in Tuscany. Every bottle sources fruit from south-eastern and south-western vineyards situated between 300 and 420 meters above sea level, where sandy loam and galestro soils impart distinct minerality. After fermentation, the wine rests in a combination of 500-liter barrels and 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks before completing its maturation in bottle.

Visually it presents an intense ruby core with violet highlights, while the aromatic profile reveals fresh cherry, plum, and red currant accented by cracked black pepper and a light touch of smoke. The mouthfeel balances softness with clear mineral undertones, supported by well-integrated tannins and solid mid-palate structure. Guided by grandson Riccardo Talenti’s dedication to clonal research and traditional viticulture, this vintage emphasizes clarity and approachability rather than dense weight.

Suggested food pairings:

• Cured Italian meats and aged cheeses
• Tomato-based pasta or rustic hand-cut noodles
• Dainty roasted chicken or lean beef cuts

The 2023 Talenti Rosso di Montalcino remains a practical yet expressive choice for drinkers seeking authentic Brunello country character at an accessible drinking window.
