Selezione Piero was created as a tribute to the work of Pierluigi Talenti, who has passionately worked with Sangiovese over the years. The vineyard, spanning 1.95 hectares and located not far from the winery, has unique soil and climate characteristics that set it apart from the others, offering consistent quality. The gently sloping land, surrounded by forests and rich in galestro clay, enjoys south-easterly exposure at an altitude of 410 m MSL. It is here that Pierluigi developed his personal clonal selection in the 1970s. The wine is intense and persistent, with a ruby red color and elegant tannins. It ages for at least 24 months in tonneaux and rests in the bottle for several months before being released.

James Suckling, il Brunello Piero 2015 da record
Il 2015 per James Suckling rappresenta un’annata storica ed imperdibile. “I vini- afferma Suckling- mostrano un’impressionante precisione, nei frutti vividi, nei tannini eleganti, nella freschezza,nell’acidità, nonostante una grande maturità e ricchezza, caratteristiche che ne fanno una delle annate più interessanti”.

EIN GRANDIOSER JAHRGANG!
Funkelndes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Sehr klare, präzise Nase, nach Brombeere und dunkler Kirsche, feine Gewürznelken im Hintergrund. Singt am Gaumen, fein- maschiges Tannin in vielen Schichten, baut sich lange auf, saftige Beerenfrucht, sehr langer Nachhall, im Finale noch et- was Holzüberhang, der sich aber gut ein- bauen wird.

Brunello di Montalcino 2015, la grande annata
Profondo nella matrice sensoriale ben coniuga la potenza estrattiva delle sostanze polifenoliche ed antocianiniche con la piacevolezza delle dolci note floreali. Ricco e complesso rivela nel calice sentori di prugne nere, more, incenso e legno di sandalo con fiori di lavanda e fiori di magnolia. Una buona speziatura domina la scena secondaria con chicco di caffè e pepe nero. Corpo pieno, tannini incredibilmente setosi nella forma che accarezzano il palato ed un finale piena espressione territoriale che manifesta una delicata potenza con la mordenza e la giusta progressione. Meglio dal 2022. Un vino perfetto, un vino divino.
Vinous
Deep red with ruby tinges. Sassafras, black cherry jam, ink, herbs and balsamic oils on the nose and in the mouth. Wonderfully sweet, rich and deep, but with near-perfect balancing acidity to frame the wine's lush fruit. Finishes with noble tannins and palate-saturating persistence. Though not the most graceful example of Sangiovese you’ll ever taste, its power and esh are not so extreme to make it taste caricatural or over the top. By far one of the best wines from Talenti in many years, this superb 2015 Brunello has it all; I add that readers who are more impressed with size rather than nuance will like it even more than I.

Lineare Blume nach Schwarzkirschen und balsamischen Komponenten; am Gaumen geschmeidig, mit vifer Säure und robusten Gerbstoffen, der Ausklang auf Noten von Beeren und Flieder. Geschmeidig und kraftvoll zugleich.

Würzig-dunkelbeeriges Parfum; kompakte Textur mit vifer Säure und engmaschigen Gerbstoffen, im Finale facettenreich mit Noten von Morellen, Leder und schwarzem Pfeffer. Gefällt mit seiner Komplexität und seiner intriganten Entwicklung. Empfehlenswert zu einem Filet Wellington.
