Description
Talamonti was founded in 2001 by the Redmont – Di Tonno family, in a magnificent, unspoiled part of the Abruzzi. Their daily objective lies in constantly seeking the best interaction between the varietal in our vineyards, the sun-exposition, the training method, and the desired yield, with the sole desire to best express our unique terroir.
Talamonti vineyards at the turn of the century have expanded to 45 hectares in production in the municipality of Loreto Aprutino. In addition to the native Montepulciano d’Abruzzo and Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, other varietals have been planted. Pecorino, for example was planted in 2004 as part of an estate experiment to study the ability of other varieties to adapt and express themselves. The vineyards circumnavigate our winery and are located at 300 meters above sea level with South East exposure in the Tavo Valley region.
The Cellars are filled with dozens of prime oak barrels selected for greater variety in origin, grain, seasoning and toasture. Following an extensive study on the aging of the Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grape in wooden casks, Talamonti has chosen to utilize different 300 liters and 3400 liters oak barrels from Austria, France, USA, and Eastern Europe.

1x Talamonti Moda Cerasuolo Rosè 2021 Bold, fresh, delicious, fruit forward, and highly enjoyable, this contemporary expression of Abruzzo, where local roots bring together and inspire, and never to restrict. Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo was named a DOC in 2010, making it one of the more recently crowned appellations, but we think, one of the most interesting. It was named for the rose style of Montepulciano, called Cerasuolo because of its cherry red appearance in the bottle. The grapes for the 2021 were firstly pressed quickly to ensure a bright pink colour before being soaked for a short period of time to avoid any harsh tannins or acidity in the eventual wine. It’s filled with ripe raspberries and cherries as well as a sweet vanilla spice on the finish. Drink now. Loreto Aprutino (PE), Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo. 100% Montepulciano d’Abruzzo grapes.
