Talenti Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Hi Folks, When I get asked for my favourite Italian Red, its always Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, however that's normally reserved for a special occasion! If you can't afford a Brunello, than the next best thing is the Baby Brunello aka Rosso di Montalcino! This is designed for more immediate pleasure and that is exactly what we have today!  Montalcino is the most revered region in Italy for Sangiovese and they come with a premium price, normally setting you back anywhere between  $55 - $70 for a decent Rosso di Montalcino... today we're going to do much better than that!  We've just acquired the exciting new release of the Talenti Rosso di Montalcino at the friendly price of just $47.50!  The 2022 is highlighted by succulent aromas of black cherry, plums, raspberries, spices, cocoa; all in a medium-full bodied style that is approachable now but will age gracefully for another 6 - 8 years. 

''Dark ruby red. Opens on the nose to ripe dark fruit. Juicy palate notion, emphatically fruit-driven, precise and elegant, finishes clear and bright.'' 93 Points, Falstaff Wine Guide

''This is a serious Rosso di Montalcino that shows good mid-term aging potential.''  Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

''I find the new Rosso's to have more freshness and elegance than the 2015s showed upon release. That said, there’s a lot of depth and power to be found here as well.  The Talenti drink really well upon release, but even better after a year or two of cellaring. In closing, I believe that Rosso di Montalcino has never been better than it is today. It delivers a highly enjoyable expression of Sangiovese with Montalcino pedigree, with its zesty fruit and high acidity, will pair with nearly any meal imaginable.'' Eric Guido, Vinous Media

Its goes without saying that this Rosso di Montalcino will be gone in a flash, so if you love your Sangiovese from one of the great appellations, but don't won't to spend an extravagant amount on one, than now is an excellent time to stock up!
