Floral on the nose, it evokes rose petals, wisteria, and violet. The secondary notes include guarana, peppermint, and wild calamint. On the palate, it's full-bodied, with enveloping tannins and a bright, savory finish. ~94 WinesCritic.com
Compact and structured, this shows deep, dark-fruited aromas of currants, blackberries, mocha, cedar, dried roses and graphite. The palate is firm, with chewy tannins and a steady backbone of acidity. The finish is long, focused, taut and lightly austere. Try from 2027. ~ 92 James Suckling
Started by a Roman entrepreneur in the 1970s and still owned by the family, Talosa has grown into being a regional wine destination and wine villa. This Riserva bottling is indicative of the brand’s wines – interesting, enjoyable, and relatively affordable for its category and quality. It tastes a little gamier and more alcoholic than the other Vino Nobles in the portfolio with good dark berry flavors, hints of savory herbs and a crisp Sangiovese finish. ~ 91 Wine Review Online

What the Critics Said
THE PRODUCER
Fattoria della Talosa
Fattoria della Talosa is a historic winery in Montepulciano, Tuscany, dedicated to the tradition and character of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Owned by the Jacorossi family since 1972, the estate spans 33 hectares and focuses primarily on Sangiovese, producing wines that reflect the distinctive character of the region.
One of Talosa’s greatest treasures is its historic cellar, built in the 1500s beneath two of Montepulciano’s oldest palaces, where its Vino Nobile ages in large oak barrels. Combining centuries-old surroundings with a continued pursuit of quality, Talosa captures the timeless elegance and authentic spirit of Tuscan winemaking.
