About the Wine 

2019 was a great year for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Vinous Media said, "2019s are a breath of fresh air. They are dark and powerful, full of complexity, but with refined tannic profiles. This will be a vintage for the cellar that we will talk about for a long time. The 2019s are some of the most exciting young wines I remember tasting at several estates."

If you want to stock up on extraordinary Sangiovese, the Talosa Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva DOCG is the way to go. 

This 95pt Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Riserva has been extremely well received by some of the most influential wine critics in the world. WinesCritic said, "Splendid. Full body. Pleasantly long finish." 

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is the first Italian DOC. This place, -also referred to as “The King of All Wines”- was known to be the favorite of some of the most influential Popes, Kings, and Presidents of Italy. Montepulciano in Tuscany holds some of the world’s greatest hidden treasures. One of them is Fattoria Della Talosa.

Talosa’s story started over 50 years ago when Angelo Jacorossi acquired this beautiful historical estate, (and when I say beautiful, I really mean be-a-u-ti-ful.) The Jacorossi family started pushing very strongly to produce extremely high-quality wines, so much so that this estate became a watershed in the quality of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Today, this award-winning winery is being managed by the 3rd generation of the Jacorossi family.

This property comprises more than 80 acres of vineyards, established in one of the loveliest Crus in Montepulciano called Pietrose. This outstanding place is located at a 350–400-meter altitude, with the vineyards facing southwest. The vines thrive in medium-textured soils of Pliocene origin, with Tuff and clayey sands. These perfect terroir conditions, combined with the expert hands of winemakers Christian and Luigi, result in alluring, unique, and powerful wines. 

The estate is ridiculously beautiful, a place that seems to be the set of a medieval time movie. Talosa’s historical cellar dates back to the 16th century. Visiting this place is like stepping back in time. The cellar is built in an underground area between Tarugi Palace and the Sinatti Palace, two of the oldest buildings in the city.

Aging: 3 years in the new oak French barrels, and some percentage in 2nd use. 

Tasting Notes

100% Sangiovese. Deep red color. The bouquet opens rich and complex on the nose, showing aromas of red berries, floral notes of forest violets, and hints of spices. On the palate, this super Vino Nobile Riserva shows an elegant combination of density and freshness, well-integrated acidity, and full-bodied taste, embedded in soft, ripe tannins that give this powerful wine a remarkable texture. 

Reviews

Ripe on the nose it reminds of black cherries in alcohol, ripe cherries and pomegranate. In the background, cherries and pressed red flowers blend with citrus highlights in a splendid form reminiscent of bergamot and lime. On the palate, full body, biting tannins and a creamy and pleasantly long finish. Drink now or grow old. ~95 WinesCritic.com
