Septembre 2020

This is quite a remarkable wine that prompts a vision of looking out over a vast orchard of glistening red cherries and red plums, weighing down gnarled, bark-scented trunks. Beneath the fragant canopy, luscious clay soils are interspersed with ferrous deposits and fresh grass stirs. Viscous layers of pure red fruit pour into the palate, soaking the mouth from top to bottom in profuse layers of spices and orange zest. The tannins have the muscle of a bodybuilder, but the acidity dances through the mouth like a ballerina. The finish is limitless.

Mars 2021 (Millésime 2016)

Cherry, strawberry, earth and mineral flavors provide immediate appeal up front, while the dense structure indicates this red will evolve steadily over a few decades. Underbrush and tobacco elements seep in around the edges, but the beam of fruit persists.

Mars 2022 (Millésime 2017)

Brilliant ruby garnet in colour, opened with slightly smoky-earthy tones, accompanied by beautiful aromas of juicy cherries, plums and some rose petals. Hearty and gripping on the palate, with dense tannins that are wonderfully balanced.

Avril 2020 (Millésime 2015)

Talenti's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is one of the highlights of the vintage. The nose is remarkably fresh yet shows layered depths which continue to blossom in the glass, as dusty cherry turns to ripe strawberry, then spiced citrus with smoky minerals, hints of cardamom, and dried flowers. On the palate, silky textures give way to the purest ripe red fruits, given further energy by a mix of saline-minerals and vibrant acids, as slow-mounting tannins slowly saturate. The finish is long and structured, yet that doesn’t stop the 2015 Piero from flaunting its primary fruit, with hints of balsamic spice, as a twang of acid refreshes the senses, even as fine tannins tug at the palate. There’s so much going on here, yet it’s completely in balance, even at this early stage in its evolution. The 2015 Piero is seductive from start to finish; however, the best is yet to come.

Novembre 2023 (Millésime 2019)

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is impossible to ignore, slowly blossoming with an enticing blend of spice-dusted blackberries, violet pastille and orange zest. This impresses further with its vividly ripe wild berry fruits and juicy acidity. Tactile mineral tones add contrast, and rosy inner florals form toward the close. The 2019 lingers impossibly long, taking on a spicy edge, as the palate is left reverberating with zesty tension, even as fine-grained tannins grip the senses. The Piero is already showing such flamboyancy and balance. It will be a thrilling Brunello to follow over the next two decades.

2018 (Millésime 2017)

A lot of red berried fruits dominate the primary scene and blend with hints of lime, chamomile and mandarin rind. There’s more with the beauty of bergamot and linden blossom which set the secondary scene. Medium to full bodied, fine grain light tannins and a decidedly pleasurable, distended finale. Better from 2022.

Février 2024 (Millésime 2019)

Deep magenta/purple in color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Piero needs air on opening and is forward with tarry aromas that mask the wine underneath, revealing notes of black plum, violets, and licorice. Approachable and rounded, this full-bodied Brunello has a silky texture, plush tannins, and a long finish. Quite attractive, it will benefit from a decant if opening any time soon, but it should have a lot to offer in the coming 10-15 years.

Novembre 2022 (Millésime 2018)

Pretty hazelnut, dried flower and chocolate undertones to the raspberries and ripe cherries. Medium-bodied, deliciously open and succulent, framed by tight-grained tannins, with excellent drinkability too. Fresh and poised at the finish with tension.

Eric Guido, Novembre 2021 (Millésime 2017)

The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is mysteriously dark and heady, the display of smoke and ashen stone evolving to show crushed blackberries, savory herbs and hints of camphor. The textures are velvety and dense, and a wave of mineral-tinged red and black fruits drenches the palate in primary depths of concentration. Beneath it all, a coating of fine-grained tannins settles in, slowly working to encase the senses with youthful tension and poise. Even still, a lasting mix of cherries, black tea and menthol carries on for what seems like a full minute. While I don’t expect this to mature as gracefully as past renditions of the single-vineyard Piero, it’s a total success for the vintage.

Juillet 2020

Leather, camphor, steeped plum and exotic-spice aromas mingle with a violet note. The concentrated, powerfully structured palate shows dried cranberry, black cherry extract, tobacco and espresso framed in assertive, close-grained tannins.
