"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 Trefolo is grown and harvested in the southernmost region of the estate. 60% Sangiovese, 40% Syrah and Canaiolo. The Talenti vineyards are located in the southwest region of Montalcino on the South-Eastern hillside. The topsoil is composed of clay and limestone with round calcareous rocks. The varieties are vinified separately. The Sangiovese grapes undergo maceration and fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for 20-25 days at 20-26ºC. The Syrah and Canaiolo will undergo a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 2-3 days. The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels and then for at least 4 months in bottle prior to release. Ruby red in color, Talenti’s Trefolo 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.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
