"In the early 1950’s, founder Pierluigi Talenti fell in love with the property and grounds that today comprise Azienda Agricola Talenti’s 40 hectares in Brunello di Montalcino. It took him until 1980 to purchase the property and begin his journey as a winemaker, a journey that his grandson Riccardo now carries on. The Talenti Rispollo Rosso is grown and harvested in the southernmost region of the estate. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 30% Petit Verdot. The Talenti vineyards are located in the southwest region of Montalcino on the South Eastern hillside. The soil composition has middle density and is composed of a sandy topsoil with calcareous stones. Afer the grapes are harvested, maceration and fermentation take place for 20-25 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged in tank as well and continues to mature in bottle for 4 months prior to its release. Ruby red in color, Talenti’s Rispollo has a bouquet of ripe cherries, red berries and white pepper on the nose. The wine is warm, sof and full on the palate, with well structured and velvety tannins."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
