Tasting Note

Brunello has a bright ruby red colour, which tends to garnet with the passing of the years. On the nose it expresses intense, clean, pleasant and refined aromas that open with notes of violet, tobacco, chocolate and pleasant memories of undergrowth and vanilla. On the palate it has excellent correspondence with the nose, a well-balanced attack, full body, good tannins and important texture.

Product Notes

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is an exquisite Italian red wine, originating from Tuscany. Crafted from the Sangiovese grape, this wine captivates with a rich ruby hue. It offers aromas of ripe red berries, intertwined with hints of leather and spices, delivering the quintessential Tuscan wine experience. On the palate, it's structured with a full-bodied richness, seamlessly balanced with fine-grained tannins and an elegant acidity that invites persistence. Best enjoyed after the careful decanting, the harmony of flavours excellently complements robust meat dishes, and exemplifies the Altesino estate's dedication to winemaking. A true testament to Brunello di Montalcino's prestigious reputation.
