Description
 
Reputed to be one of the most famous wineries of Italy, Altesino needs little introduction. They make wines that are consistent in quality and classic in style. Their Brunello di Montalcinos are benchmark wines that every wineries dream to make. It is worth noting that James Suckling of the Wine Spectator has rated the 2001 vintage as one of the best ever for the Brunello di Montalcino region and with Altesino making some of the year’s top wines.

Altesino's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli shows those celebrated characteristics of this special vineyard cru that are always portrayed with pronounced mineral intensity, with highlights of crushed granite and pencil shaving. Indeed, Altesino's five-hectare Montosoli vineyard sees a greater concentration of clay schist Galestro rock, and the vineyard altitude (at 350 meters above sea level) adds to the wine's perceived freshness. In this case, those mineral notes are applied with small brush strokes, as the core of the wine is occupied by wild fruit and forest berry. Medicinal herb and rosemary essence appear quietly at the back. This is a very compact and bright wine with young tannins and solid structure. It has all the attributes you look for in a candidate that can withstand long cellar aging. I'd suggest waiting five years or more before popping this cork. Some 19,000 bottles were filled in July 2019, and the wine was released in January 2020.Wine Advocate 96+
