Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2021 (14%)

A red wine from Altesino in Tuscany, within the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG appellation. It is made from 100% Sangiovese, hand-harvested from several estate vineyards. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by ageing in Slavonian oak botti and French oak barrels, then bottle ageing before release. In the glass it shows a deep ruby-garnet colour. The nose offers wild red cherries, crushed plums, raspberries, dried violets, tobacco leaf, leather, Mediterranean herbs, sweet spices and crushed stone minerality. The palate has vibrant red fruit, fine acidity and polished tannins, with a long finish of licorice, dark cocoa and savory herbs.
