Piero Brunello di Montalcino 2016

- 94 points -

The second vintage of this tribute to Talenti’s founder, Piero hails from a two-hectare plot that Pierluigi Talenti propagated with selected clones approximately 50 years ago. It is more robust, and fruit-laden compared to the estate’s Brunello, though I am not sure it will necessarily be longer-lived. Underneath the dark, dense, ripe fruit a beam of brightness surfaces with a distinct note of blood orange. The tannins are silky and smooth but copious. Cocoa dusts the finish.
