    Altesino

    Altesino has always been a disruptively pioneering figure in Montalcino. One of the very first producers to age its wines in small French oak barriques, thus lessening the invasive presence of strong tannic influences, the elegance of Altesino stood out instantly. An even greater leap came with their decision to introduce the concept of cru bottlings to Montalcino, crafting glorious expressions of specific individual terroirs in the form of the “Montosoli” cuvée.

    Purchased by the owner of nearby Tenuta Caparzo in 2002, Altesino is poised to maintain its position at the very top of Brunello, and is clearly thriving amidst the greatest revolution within the region to take place since the Biondi-Santi “invention” of Brunello over 100 years ago.

    The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino has remarkably consistent integration from the nose to the palate. There are generous aromatics of fresh raspberry, rosemary, lavender and Mediterranean herbs. The palate opens up with ripe and inviting cherry fruit and tea leaf, with supple tannin and freshness on the finish. Its drinkability now should not be confused for a lack of structure, as it is true to the energetic nature of the vintage. Drink 2021-2036.

    Packed with sweet, ripe cherry, plum and raspberry fruit and framed by loamy earth and woodsy notes, this red is intense, lively and light on its feet. Balanced, with firm tannins and a salty, minerally impression on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2045. 1,200 cases made.

    The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva holds tight to its unique character and power. The classic 2016 vintage produced generous wines that are layered and rich but also coiled tightly at their core. This wine exemplifies this point, adding lots of tart Sangiovese fruit and freshness along the way. It also shows an impressive richness of flavors with dried cherry, licorice, pressed violets, balsam herb and dusty limestone. The caveat with this wine, should you decide to drink it early, is that it needs extra time to open (and a double decanting would also help). This 10,000-bottle production opens beautifully in time.
