2019 Talosa Filai Lunghi Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano DOCG

"Another standout is the Filai Lunghi, a single-vineyard Sangiovese that’s matured for two years in new tonneaux. Despite the more aggressive oak treatment, the wine comes across as totally classic and wonderfully integrated, displaying the dark radiance of the 2019 vintage. Talosa has been a consistently strong performer over the last few years, and this set of new releases is a perfect example of just that." ~Vinous Media

Vinous Media said VIno Nobileis "so easy to like." We agree! This 100% Sangiovese will be your new best friend. Pair this wine with Italian classic cuisine like pizza, tomato-based pasta, or even a cheese and cold cuts platter. You will LOVE it! 

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: 2 years in the new oak tonneaux, big barrels, and stainless steel.

100% Sangiovese. This wine has a beautifully intense and lively ruby-red color. The fruity notes are charming and enveloping, with aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and black currants. Followed by floral perceptions reminiscent of dark red rose petals left slightly dried. On the palate, it is fresh with soft tannins. Great length.

The 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Filai Lunghi is dark and brooding in the glass, wafting up with notes of plum sauce, mocha and crushed violet. This is velvety in feel, nearly creamy, yet lifted by a core of brilliant acidity. Crisp, mineral-infused red berry fruit hints swirl throughout. It tapers off with a pleasantly bitter tinge offset by a bump of residual acidity. A dusting of coca mingles with fine tannins through the long and classically dry finale. ~94 Vinous Media
