About the Wine

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. To learn more about this amazing grape and the wines from it, click here.

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: for 2 years in the tonneaux of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th use. 

Tasting Notes: 100% Sangiovese. This wine enchants with an intense, floral, and fruity-spicy aroma with hints of black cherries, tobacco, and oak spice. With complex and elegant flavors, this exquisite Vino Nobile shows firm tannins on the palate, a balanced structure, and a well-integrated acidity. The finish is long, soft, delicately, and harmonious. An eclectic wine, suitable for any occasion.

Reviews

Strong on the nose showing notes of black prunes, blackberries, cinnamon powder and cherry liqueur. Full bodied, super smooth tannins and a remarkably beautiful finale. It needs time to distend and come out. Better from 2024. ~94 WinesCritic.com

Cherry and cedar aromas with some dried wood, following through to a full body with layers of juicy tannins and a crunchy finish. Better in a year or two. ~92 James Suckling. 

A dark and rich red, full of blackberry, black cherry and blueberry flavors in a modern style. Features flashes of iron, vanilla and toasty oak as this winds down on the gripping finish. Best from 2024 through 2036. 3,500 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.. ~92 Wine Spectator

Dusty, dark yet attractively floral, the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Alboreto wafts up with a mix of crushed violets, black currants and stone dust. This is silky and soothing, without a hard edge in sight, as mineral-tinged red and black fruits cascade across its brisk acid core. Purple- and blue-toned florals linger incredibly long, as the 2019 finishes lightly structured and on a note of refinement. I love the balance here. ~92 Vinous
