"Once again, Sesti’s Phenomena tops this year’s Riserva releases. As always, it marks a specific cosmic event: in 2018, this was the super blue blood moon of 31 January, the most important lunar eclipse of the 21st century. For a wine that has aged in cask for so long (52 months), this is impossibly fresh and well preserved. Just hinting at its splendour, aromas build steadily with dried lavender, basil and sweet wet soil. The palate teases tenderly with an initial caress and sumptuousness of fruit, then reveals its secure, authoritative grip. Tangy tamarind underscores raspberry in the tightly wound core, while it maintains a very savoury and sapid character throughout."

An exhilarating nose starts with a slap of blood and earth, like a spooky autumn evening, before lightening into the wild, herbal aroma of a diviner's tea. On the palate, a kaleidoscope of flavor explodes in the night sky, with stars of cherry, bitter orange, soil, licorice and the enduring warm, light sweetness of tea leaves. Finely grained, captivating tannins create a feeling of uncanny weightlessness

Riccardo Talenti and his family have crafted a bold and deeply saturated wine. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Pian di Conte shows a contemporary side with soft cherry aromas followed by sweet spice and dark chocolate. It also delivers some of those tangy balsamic and licorice-like aromas that are so specific to Sangiovese from Montalcino. You get power as well as a good dose of authenticity with this age-worthy Riserva.

Clear, rich ruby. Opens with appealing spicy notes, of candied orange peel and cinchona bark, then lots of sweet and sour cherry. Plays up nicely on the palate, subtle spicy notes - of cardamom - plus juicy cherry and cranberry, good finish.
Vonous Antono Galloni Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2007 93/100
Deep red. Aromas of black plum, red cherry and licorice. Broad, ripe and rich; a dusty note adds complexity to the black plum and coffee flavors. Shows more texture and extract than the 2013 Brunello from this estate, but the herbal-licorice aspect makes it less easy to drink today. Finishes with substantial, broad but noble tannins. This just really needs time to develop in the bottle.

In the 1950s Pierluigi Talenti purchased the property and the lands that he had fallen in love with and decided to move from Romagna to the gently rolling, sunny hills of Montalcino. Over the years, he devoted his time to clonal research into the locally grown Sangiovese, taking his wines to the highest levels of quality. Today, Riccardo Talenti continues that research, with the utmost respect for tradition, working with the very same passion and determination. The estate has been developed around an old farm called “Pian di Conte”, not far from Sant’Angelo in Colle, on the southern slope of the municipality of Montalcino, which has been restructured and expanded over the years. The property occupies an area of 40 hectares, among vineyards, olive groves, orchards and seed crops, surrounded by age-old holm-oak woods, characteristic of the Montalcino area.

The estate Anselma Giacomo was founded in the early twentieth century and since then the tradition in winemaking has been maintained. You will find the caracter of the company in every sip of wine. It is currently managed by the son of Giaculin Anselma, Franco, and his wife Maria. The passion and knowledge in traditional winemaking was handed down from generation to generation. The Anselma family owns vineyards in the area of Serralunga d'Alba, one of the most prestigious territory in the Langhe where the soil is calcareous clay and where the mild climate is intertwined with the area and has a positively influence on the quality of the grapes. The land we own is part of the famous VignaRionda vineyard, a "Premier Grand Cru" to use a bit of French. Much attention is above all paid to the work in the vineyard from the perspective that great wines are produced only from grapes of excellent quality. Maintaining the richness of the earth requires very much work and a lot of passion. ”With patience you get a great wine which has no rivals”. Our history goes back to the early 20th century when Felice Anselma, the grandfather of Franco, decided to produce his own wine. He firmly believed that the geographical position of land already had made a natural selection in grapes and therefore he chose to only make the traditional red wines from the Langhe area  from the native grapes. A philosophy which was carried on by Felice's son Giaculin and nowadays by grandson Franco.

"Once again, Sesti’s Phenomena tops this year’s Riserva releases. As always, it marks a specific cosmic event: in 2018, this was the super blue blood moon of 31 January, the most important lunar eclipse of the 21st century. For a wine that has aged in cask for so long (52 months), this is impossibly fresh and well preserved. Just hinting at its splendour, aromas build steadily with dried lavender, basil and sweet wet soil. The palate teases tenderly with an initial caress and sumptuousness of fruit, then reveals its secure, authoritative grip. Tangy tamarind underscores raspberry in the tightly wound core, while it maintains a very savoury and sapid character throughout."

Giuseppe Sesti, the founder, has an interesting background, studied astronomy at university and then theater. With the family we moved to Montalcino in 1975 when he discovered the wine, but until 1992 he produced no bottle. With 1995 it is the first vintage came out on the market. The corporate style incorporates astronomy studied at the university in the cultivation of grapes and uses its theory for planting plants and when to start the harvest. On their Brunello Riserva every year a different label is created, inherent to an astronomical event that happened in that particular vintage. Her daughter, Elisa, is now in charge of the cellar. The top wine, Brunello Riserva "Phenomena", was released only in good-excellent years. The winery is located has a historic building called Castello di Argiano, one of the fortifications built to protect Montalcino in the 12th century.

There’s freshness and balance to this 2017 Brunello, with dark-cherry, walnut and dried-flower aromas that follow through to a medium body, firm tannins and a long, vivid finish. Nicely done for the vintage. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker Brunello di Montalcino Selc. Piero 2017 93/100
One of the higher Vineyards in the region between 410-450 meters, Vigna di Piero is a 'selection massale' which was started in the 1970's by Pierluigi Talenti.
Quite dark in colour, brooding aromas of dark fruit, cherries, and black plums as well as dark mineral /smoke notes. The palate shows great concentration of soft sweet fruit but with a very firm tannin core.Finishes complex and powerful with great persistence.The wine is aged in a mixture of 500 liter and 2500 liter Barrels for at least 24 months.
J. Suckling Brunello di Montalcino Selc. Piero 2017 93/100
The Talenti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is softly contoured and nicely balanced with a plush and enriched side that contrasts heavier aromas of spice and smoke. The wine reaches good balance while showing some of the density and extra concentration that you might associate with a hot vintage such as 2017. Fruit comes from a two-hectare parcel with galestro soils. Just 3,800 bottles were made.

In the 1950s Pierluigi Talenti purchased the property and the lands that he had fallen in love with and decided to move from Romagna to the gently rolling, sunny hills of Montalcino. Over the years, he devoted his time to clonal research into the locally grown Sangiovese, taking his wines to the highest levels of quality. Today, Riccardo Talenti continues that research, with the utmost respect for tradition, working with the very same passion and determination. The estate has been developed around an old farm called “Pian di Conte”, not far from Sant’Angelo in Colle, on the southern slope of the municipality of Montalcino, which has been restructured and expanded over the years. The property occupies an area of 40 hectares, among vineyards, olive groves, orchards and seed crops, surrounded by age-old holm-oak woods, characteristic of the Montalcino area.

"Black cherries, lavender, black mushrooms, lead pencil and violets on the nose. Full-bodied with a powerful and polished tannin structure that follows through to the very end. Pure, silky texture. Fascinating aftertaste of ripe fruit, yet it’s fresh and tense. Some orange peel, too. Glorious at the end. So well crafted and pointed.

The Pacenti estate was established in 1970, with the purchase of the property north of Montalcino (Pelagrilli) by Siro, who then proceeded to plant some important vineyards, which are still there today, in the fresh, clay soils of the land overlooking Siena. In 1988, management passed into the hands of Giancarlo. This was the year of the harvest in which Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino Siro Pacenti were bottled for the first time. At the beginning of the Nineties, the estate expanded to include land south of Montalcino (Piancornello). Here, in soils rich in minerals, at the end of the Sixties Giancarlo’s maternal grandfather had planted five hectares of vineyard which were to prove particularly important in determining the characteristics of Siro Pacenti wines. This is now where the Sangiovese rootings used in the estate’s new plantations are reproduced. The Nineties were also marked by the start of the partnership with the University of Bordeaux and the first experiments on phenolic maturity applied to Sangiovese (Yves Glories). The new cellar was built between 2001 and 2004, combining technology and experience with respect for the grapes and the land.

"Once again, Sesti’s Phenomena tops this year’s Riserva releases. As always, it marks a specific cosmic event: in 2018, this was the super blue blood moon of 31 January, the most important lunar eclipse of the 21st century. For a wine that has aged in cask for so long (52 months), this is impossibly fresh and well preserved. Just hinting at its splendour, aromas build steadily with dried lavender, basil and sweet wet soil. The palate teases tenderly with an initial caress and sumptuousness of fruit, then reveals its secure, authoritative grip. Tangy tamarind underscores raspberry in the tightly wound core, while it maintains a very savoury and sapid character throughout."

The estate Anselma Giacomo was founded in the early twentieth century and since then the tradition in winemaking has been maintained. You will find the caracter of the company in every sip of wine. It is currently managed by the son of Giaculin Anselma, Franco, and his wife Maria. The passion and knowledge in traditional winemaking was handed down from generation to generation. The Anselma family owns vineyards in the area of Serralunga d'Alba, one of the most prestigious territory in the Langhe where the soil is calcareous clay and where the mild climate is intertwined with the area and has a positively influence on the quality of the grapes. The land we own is part of the famous VignaRionda vineyard, a "Premier Grand Cru" to use a bit of French. Much attention is above all paid to the work in the vineyard from the perspective that great wines are produced only from grapes of excellent quality. Maintaining the richness of the earth requires very much work and a lot of passion. ”With patience you get a great wine which has no rivals”. Our history goes back to the early 20th century when Felice Anselma, the grandfather of Franco, decided to produce his own wine. He firmly believed that the geographical position of land already had made a natural selection in grapes and therefore he chose to only make the traditional red wines from the Langhe area  from the native grapes. A philosophy which was carried on by Felice's son Giaculin and nowadays by grandson Franco.
