The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli was slightly closed at the time of our tasting. It later opened to show dark fruit, licorice and that special mineral tone that comes from this vineyard site with shale soils. The mouthfeel is streamlined, having shed its baby fat, and the effect on the palate is indeed quite elegant and polished.

James Suckling (97)

Lovely sweet cherries and heather with some leather and balsamic undertones. It’s full-bodied with a velvety and lightly dusty palate. Juicy fruit and pretty orange peel to the berry character. Hints of cedar and meat at the end. Subtle and complex.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Lustrous ruby. Concentrated cherry nose with an earthy, minerally note and a hint of gingerbread. With aeration more and more minerally. Tangy gentle fruit with the merest suggestion of oak. Gorgeous chewy tannins. Very suave, supple and elegant.

Rose, forest berry, underbrush and new leather are some of the aromas you'll find on this full-bodied red. From one of Montalcino's greatest vineyard sites, the firmly structured, elegant palate is also delicious, boasting ripe black cherry, raspberry compote, tobacco and licorice set against taut, fine-grained tannins. It's well balanced, with bright acidity.
