About the producer
Talenti is a third-generation family estate located in Sant’Angelo in Colle, in the southern sector of the Montalcino appellation. Founded in the 1950s by Pierluigi Talenti—one of the early visionaries of Brunello—the estate has grown into a benchmark for terroir-driven, classically styled wines. Today, his grandson Riccardo carries the legacy forward with a thoughtful balance of tradition and innovation, focusing on clonal research and parcel-specific vinification to highlight the diversity of their eleven distinct vineyard sites across the rolling hills of Montalcino.
