Altesino Rosso di Altesino (75cl, 13%)

Altesino Rosso di Altesino is an unoaked Tuscan red blend from Montalcino, bottled at 13% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It blends 80% Sangiovese with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, fermented in stainless steel and matured for six to eight months without oak contact. The nose opens with ripe red and blue berries, forest fruits and touches of violets, with minerals, black olive and a stony, earthy undertone. The palate is smooth and juicy, with ripe plum and cherry, then herbal spice from the Cabernet Sauvignon. The finish is round and soft, with lingering spice and dried herbs.
