Talenti
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the Talenti winery located and in what part of Montalcino does it produce?
Talenti is located in Montalcino, with a property of about 40 hectares, 21 under vine, 16 of which are planted with Sangiovese selected over the years directly in the territory by Pierluigi Talenti. The gentle, sun-drenched hills of Montalcino, which captivated the founder when he arrived from Romagna, remain central to the winery's identity.
Who founded the Talenti winery? Is it a family business?
Yes: the winery was born from Pierluigi Talenti's decision to leave the mountains of Romagna for the hills of Montalcino, which he fell in love with, eventually buying the estate that had captivated him. Pierluigi spent years researching Sangiovese clones in the territory. Since 1999 the winery has been led by his nephew Riccardo Talenti, who continues the work while honoring the family tradition.
What wines does Talenti produce?
The range centers on Brunello di Montalcino, also available in the Riserva 'Piero' version dedicated to founder Pierluigi Talenti, alongside Rosso di Montalcino. The production reflects decades of Sangiovese clonal selection carried out directly in the vineyard, aiming to fully express the potential of the Montalcino territory.
Has the Talenti winery received major awards?
Yes: the Talenti Brunello di Montalcino Piero 2019 scored 98 points from The World of Fine Wine, a very high score that confirms the clonal research on Sangiovese begun by Pierluigi Talenti and continued by his nephew Riccardo, who now leads the winery.
Can you visit the Talenti winery? Do they offer tastings?
Yes, Riccardo Talenti personally welcomes visitors, walking them through the vineyard rows with stories about his grandfather Piero, then guiding them through the cellar to explain the production stages, concluding with a tasting of the winery's wines, including the celebrated Brunello.
