Product Description
This distinguished Brunello showcases a captivating ruby hue with garnet undertones, releasing an elegant bouquet of violet, wild berries, tobacco, chocolate, and vanilla. The palate reveals a luxurious, full-bodied character with silky tannins and refined acidity that glides seamlessly across the mouth. Its supple structure makes it an exceptional companion for hearty fare—think osso bucco, slow-roasted pot roasts, smoky barbecue, and warming beef stew. A wine of considerable depth and sophistication.

Wine AdvocateOpening to earthy tones of brimstone and petrichor, the Altesino 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows the character of a house style that is easily recognized. This elegant wine offers a polished and smooth mouthfeel with finely tuned tannins. The oak is also expertly managed to show some light spice that is deeply integrated into a silky mouthfeel. Of the village Brunellos I tasted from 2020, this one offers excellent quality and will prove easily to locate thanks to its ample release of 110,000 bottles.

James SucklingVery pretty and floral with raspberries and black cherries on the nose, as well as violet undertones. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins, though integrated and polished. Long, intense finish. Extremely well done for the vintage. Drink after 2026, but already solid.
