Product Notes

Altesino Rosso di Montalcino DOC is a distinguished Italian wine hailing from Tuscany. Produced by the renowned Altesino estate, this fine red wine is a vivid ruby-red in colour.

The wine is ripe on the palate, delivering a velvety mouthfeel with well-integrated tannins. With its great structure and harmonious finish, it makes a delightful companion to roasted meats, game and mature cheeses. Matured in oak barrels, Altesino Rosso di Montalcino embodies the Tuscan wine-making tradition in a most delightful manner.
