Piero Brunello di Montalcino 2017

- 93 points -

Talenti’s Piero selection comes from a gently sloping, southeast-facing parcel at 410 metres. Surrounded by forest, the 1.95ha vineyard is characterised by Galestro soil. While aged in a combination of new and second passage French oak tonneaux, the 2017 comes across as less oak driven than in previous vintages. It's articulate and fetching as it conveys chopped green herbs, tobacco and traces of chocolate. Firm, dry tannins frame ripe, concentrated black cherries with rocky, mineral notes tucked in. A compact finish promises solid mid-term drinking.
