Azienda Agricola Talenti: A Tuscan Gem

A lovely winery to visit with fantastic views. We really enjoyed the tasting hosted by Giorgio and recommend even trying their mistakes (Oops). Thank you for taking the time to explain your wines to us.

Fantastic tour and tasting at Talenti! We were guided by Riccardo who is the owner and winemaker and we caught him right at the start of harvest season. You can feel his passion for producing some of the highest quality Brunello wines, and appreciated all of his knowledge and history of the winery. Even his “Oops” Rose had us impressed. Highly recommend - fun, unique, delicious!

I was in Montalcino during the off-season (April), and I scheduled a visit to Riccardo's winery. I was the only person, so Riccardo and I spent over an hour one-on-one while he discussed his philosophy on winemaking and sharing how the micro-climates at his estate affects each vineyard individually and how he uses the various clones from each in his winemaking. He shared his passion wonderfully and explained how he (and the wine) have changed over the years. We concluded with tasting his wine, and the Piero single-vineyard (despite still being very young) may have been the best wine I've ever had. The linearity of the structure of that wine (and the way Riccardo described it) is a memory I will have forever.

I had a winery visit with tasting in July 2023. The vineyards and the surrounding area, both indoors and outdoors, are well maintained. It is their custom to conduct visits in small groups so that each visitor can be welcomed and the experience personalized. Giorgio, a young and knowledgeable employee of the company, accompanied us. The tasting rooms (there are two) are magnificent. The restorations and contemporary touches do not affect the original elements of the late 19th century building.

you can inhale the „spirit of brunello“ when visiting the wineyard, the team is very friendly and motivated - the wines are all top quality, some of them definitly worldclass - thanks for the great experience giorgio, we`ll be back ;-)

We booked a visit to Talenti during our European trip. When we arrived, Riccardo the owner/winemaker was waiting for us. He welcomed us and gave us a full tour of his winery. He was approachable and shared with us his passion for his terroir and wines. We chatted together for 2 hours or so and concluded the visit by a tasting of his products. And like this, Brunello di Montalcino became one of my favourite wine in the World! We really loved Riccardo wines and brought a few back home with us. Grazie for your time and passion Riccardo. We will be in touch next time we come to Europe to get a bit more of your nectar!

During my visit to Siena, I had a drink in a restaurant on the recommendation of the manager, yours truly. Rosso di Montalcino 2017 and I found it to be a really excellent wine, congratulations!!! I then went to a wine shop in Montalcino, had a look and bought a bottle to try at home. I chose vs. Company instead of the usual "noble" one because I consider it a high level wine. Next time I will try vs. Brunello!

Proud to be able to offer our customers the splendid wines you produce. The "traditional" wines are much appreciated and the "fantasy" ones are surprising.
