Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 (1.5L)
Product price
Description
Brunello di Montalcino is Sangiovese in its most ageworthy form, grown in the warm hills south of Siena and required by the rules of the DOCG to spend years maturing before release. This bottling from Altesino comes from that Tuscan tradition, a structured red built on the grape's firm tannins and bright cherry-driven acidity, the kind of wine that rewards a little patience and pairs naturally with food.

Expert Reviews
The Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a rich and savory side that this wine wears very well. There is a beautiful level of dark fruit that folds into the wine's velvety texture. Blackberry and plum envelop the palate, adding elegant full-bodied volume and fine tannins along the way. The wine is aged in traditional Slavonian casks, and production reaches 110,000 bottles annually (which is very ambitious considering this level of quality). (Wine Advocate)
Rocks and dirt and crushed wild herbs strike a dexterous balance with wild strawberry, sour cherry on the nose. The cherries and strawberry sweeten with notes of raspberry jam. Bitter, earthy underbrush and grippy tannins form a firm foundation for aging. (Wine Enthusiast)
Pouring a rich ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino offers an attractive nose of cherry candies, sweet herbs, polished leather, and orange oils. It moves seamlessly to the palate with equally harmonious structure and a great, long finish. Medium to full-bodied, it lasts for ages. This is one of those wines that’s going to have a very wide drinking window and is exceptional already. Drink 2026-2046. (Jeb Dunnuck)
