While less immediately expressive than Talenti’s classic Brunello, Piero is by no means austere, and the 2018 could be my favourite vintage of this single-parcel selection yet. It presents a lovely purity of wild forest berry aromas lifted by mint, lavender and fennel, while blood orange and cocoa ring out on the palate. Matured in 500l French oak tonneaux - 30% new - the wood is well-digested, lending a well built polished frame that doesn't overpower the fruit. There's sneaky concentration and crunchy acidity balancing out the whole.
