Talenti - Wines from the heart of Montalcino

It was in the 1950s when Pierluigi Talenti decided to move from the mountains of Romagna to the gentle, sunny hills of Montalcino. After a few years, he decided to buy the farm and all the land that had fascinated him so much and that he had fallen in love with. Over the years Pierluigi has dedicated himself to the Sangiovese grape variety in this area, in order to bring his wines to the highest level of quality. Today, in keeping with tradition, Riccardo Talenti continues to research and work with the same passion and tenacity as his grandfather.

Wine and olives at Talenti

The Talenti winery today covers an area of 40 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, orchards and part of farmland, surrounded by centuries-old holm oak woods typical of the area. Of the 22 hectares of vineyards, 16 are dedicated to Sangiovese, some of which have been selected over the years by Pierluigi directly in the Montalcino area.

The farm is surrounded by 4 hectares of olive groves, where the Correggiolo and Moraiolo varieties are grown, providing a bright green product with intense aromas. The harvest is done by hand during the months of October and November and is transported to the oil mill within 36 hours. Cold extraction then takes place to reduce the possibility of oxidation, thus preserving the freshness and aromatic characteristics that distinguish the oil of the estate.

In the Talenti cellar

At Talenti, the grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in small containers. In this way, the harvest is already selected for the first time and it is ensured that only high quality material enters the cellar. Fermentation takes place mainly in stainless steel. The wines are aged for two years in Allier and Slavonian wood. They are then refined in the bottle to enhance the aromas and character that make the wines unique and unrepeatable.
