Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2018 (75cl, 14.5%)

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is a red wine from Montalcino, Tuscany, made from 100% Sangiovese Grosso and bottled at approximately 14.5% ABV. Altesino was the first estate to introduce the concept of cru Brunello, from its Montosoli site. The standard Brunello is fermented traditionally and aged a minimum of two years in oak, followed by at least four months in bottle before release, in accordance with DOCG regulations. The bouquet opens with wild strawberry and dried red flowers, with violet, tobacco leaf and vanilla. The palate brings ripe raspberry and red cherry with bright acidity, broadening into blood orange, dark chocolate and tea leaf. The finish is moderately long, with dried herbs, subtle spice and a mineral undertow.
