Talenti's Riserva is crafted from the 2ha Paretaio vineyard at the Pian di Conte estate, near Sant'Angelo in Colle. Aged in a combination of large format Slavonian oak botti and French tonneaux, it shows sweet, ripe fruit and the concentration of the vintage, yet the underlying tangy acidity keeps it fresh and buoyant. Flavours of smokey plum, liquorice and earth are held together by grippy tannins that require a couple of years to yield.
