Silky dark cherry and plum fruit take center stage in Altesino’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino, layered with hints of sweet herbs, orange zest, and subtle spice over a refined, velvety frame. Medium to full in body yet wonderfully poised, it shows polished tannins and vibrant acidity that give length, clarity, and real drinking pleasure even in its youth. This vintage stands out for combining generosity of fruit with impressive finesse and a long, savory finish.

Altesino’s Brunello di Montalcino is a benchmark Sangiovese from vineyards spread across both the cooler north and warmer south of Montalcino, blended to balance elegance and structure. Typically ruby red turning garnet with age, it shows aromas of violet, wild berries, tobacco, chocolate, and vanilla, and a rich yet polished, velvety palate that is built for long aging and pairs especially well with hearty meat dishes like osso buco and braises.
