Talenti Brunello di Montalcino Pian de Conte Riserva 2013
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyPian di Conte is the estate where Pierluigi Talenti landed when he moved from Romagna, and established his winery, very close to Sant'Angelo in Colle. Today, his grandson Riccardo Talenti oversees operations. This vigna (single vineyard) Brunello comes from that special site, one Riccardo sees as a Cru, and is not made every year. From 35 year old vines at 400m on sandy loam and heavy stone, this faces southwest. After a three week ferment and maceration in stainless, this moved into 500L French tonneaux and 15-25hl Slavonian oak for two years' aging, followed by two more years in bottle prior to release. An intoxicating nose lures into layers of leather, iodine, dark cherry, dried florals. Tannins are firm and ample, but very well integrated, providing a solid backbone and structure for aging. A beautiful freshness and acidity keeps this feeling finessed and elegant through the lingering, buzzing finish. Beauty now, and will continue to hold in your cellar for some years.Tasted: 01 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $106.00 | 750ml | LCBO |
