Perfumed red berries, black cherry and rose leap from the glass of Altesino’s 2020 Brunello di Montalcino, layered with sweet herbs and a gentle touch of spice from well-judged oak. The palate is medium-bodied yet intense, with vibrant acidity, sleek but firmly shaping tannins and a long, graceful finish that feels refined rather than heavy—an especially successful and elegant expression for this warmer vintage.
Tagliata di manzo with rosemary, pappardelle al cinghiale, aged pecorino Toscano
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.
