In the 1950s, Pierluigi Talenti left Romagna for the soft, sunny hills of Montalcino. After a few years, he decided to acquire the estate and all its land with which he had fallen in love. Over the years, he devoted his time to clonal research of Sangiovese throughout Montalcino, bringing his wines to the highest levels of quality. Today, his grandson Riccardo Talenti runs the vineyard and continues this research with the greatest respect for tradition, working with the same passion and determination as his ancestor.

The estate developed around an old farmhouse called “Pian di Conte”, not far from Sant’Angelo in Colle, on the southern slope of the municipality of Montalcino, which has been restructured and enlarged over the years. The property occupies an area of ​​40 hectares, between vineyards, olive groves, orchards and seed crops, surrounded by centuries-old holm oak forests, characteristic of the Montalcino region. The land is divided into eleven parcels, each with a different altitude, exposure and soil composition, creating incredibly complex and deep red wines.

The project began in 2001 with the passion of brothers Lodovico and Piero Antinori, with their nephew Niccolo’ Marzichi Lenzi and shareholder Umberto Mannoni. They decided to bring this territory to life and forge the history of Tenuta di Biserno and Tenuta Campo di Sasso.

Located in the municipality of Bibbona in Upper Maremma, on the edge of the historic village of Bolgheri to the north, the exceptional terroir, the unique soil of the Bolgheri conglomerate, the natural conditions, the exposure to the wind and the microclimate combine to allow the growth of vines of unquestionable quality, which in turn produce unique, authentic and distinctive wines.

The Tenuta di Biserno estate extends over more than 40 hectares and is located 90 meters above sea level.  The soils are very stony, they are mainly alluvial, with some clay-limestone, rich in calcium carbonate. The vines are cultivated mainly with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.  The combination of the maritime influence of the neighboring Mediterranean and the different aspects between the vineyards gives rise to the two distinct production styles of Biserno and Il Pino di Biserno.

Tenuta Campo di Sasso, for its part, extends over more than 56 hectares and is located at a lower altitude than the Biserno estate. The soil is sandier and, in terms of microclimate, it is warmer here during the summer months.  These conditions are perfect for growing Syrah and Vermentino, as well as the main Bordeaux grape varieties.  The wines produced in Campo di Sasso are Insoglio del Cinghiale and Occhione.
