Talenti
Talenti is a gorgeous estate located in one of the world's most picturesque regions - the valley of the river Orcia, south of the legendary hill town of Montalcino, near the beautiful (and beautifully preserved) medieval monastery of Sant'Antimo, where if you were lucky, you might still hear the monks singing beneath the ancient Romanesque arches of the church built in the early 12th century: they continue to do so every day. Azienda Talenti was established by Pierliugi Talenti in 1981. The estate is an idyllic 40 hectares, including about 20 hectares of vines. The rest is olives, cereal crops, and natural woods. The place has a profound sense of remoteness and calm.
Description
Intriguing aromas of garrigue, forest floor, new leather and wild berry are front and center. The focused, medium-bodied palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, orange rind and star anise framed in fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. This won't take years to come around but will still provide good midterm ageing potential.
Food Pairing
This wine is particularly suited to accompany red meat, game, cold meat and aged-cheese.
