If 2018 was the vertical vintage then 2019 is one of breadth and depth, this as far as Riccardo Talenti is concerned. Specific to this Talenti vineyard cuvée which means all nine plots from every location, some obviously more than others. A mix of all five soil types and micro climates and no other recent vintage has layered, complicated and concentrated like the 2019. Variability sure but how seamless is this? Freshness and fulsome character are in synch as much as these two disparate ideas can be so that the Annata will express all that Talenti's fruit has to offer. Good liquid peppery grip and length as long as the road from Montalcino to Amiata. Grande Riccardo. Drink 2025-2034. Tasted November 2023. Score - 95.
