Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2021

From one of Montalcino’s most respected producers, Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2021 brings together Sangiovese’s elegance and finesse with the depth and structure that have made Brunello one of Italy’s most sought-after wines. The vintage is praised for its concentration, ripe tannins and lively freshness, and this classic bottling is made entirely from Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes
Beautiful ruby red with garnet reflections, it opens with an intense yet refined bouquet of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, dried rose and violet. Subtle notes of tobacco, liquorice, herbs and balsamic nuances add complexity.

Production
Made from 100% Sangiovese in Montalcino, the wine reflects Altesino’s focus on the character of the region and a traditional approach to winemaking. It is aged in oak barrels before spending additional time in bottle. The 2021 vintage offers the structure and balance to develop gracefully over many years; specific vineyard, harvest and vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
Enjoy with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, game, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, ideally after allowing it to breathe; decant for one to two hours if serving young to help open its aromas and soften its structure.

Producer
Altesino has been an influential Montalcino producer since the 1970s and was among the pioneers of single-vineyard Brunello, notably with the celebrated Montosoli vineyard. Its reputation rests on respect for Montalcino’s terroir and a classic style that prioritises balance, complexity and ageing potential.
