Altesino Brunello di Montalcino (2021)

Altesino is a historic Tuscan producer whose elegant Sangiovese has helped define the modern reputation of Brunello di Montalcino. Ripe cherry and red plum lead into violet, dried herbs, tobacco, and savory spice, supported by vibrant acidity and polished tannins. The 2021 has the structure expected from classic Brunello while retaining aromatic freshness and finesse. Extended aging adds depth and complexity without obscuring the wine’s bright red fruit. This refined Italian red wine is ready for a memorable dinner now and has excellent cellar potential. Pair with braised beef, roast lamb, wild mushrooms, or aged Pecorino.
