Limited. 98 Points Wine Spectator: "This delivers intense balsamic notes of juniper, wild rosemary and sage, along with rose, cherry and berry aromas and flavors. Elegant and saturated with flavor, supported by a vibrant structure. Ends with energy and refined tannins. Best from 2022 through 2040. From Italy." A Cellar Selection Altesino is a reference point producer in Brunello di Montalcino, sought after in every vintage, especially in the top vintages. Brunello Riserva offers a solid, full body and excellent aging potential. Its ample and complex bouquet is reminiscent of violets, wild berries, cedar, leather, tobacco and spices.

Pair with Steak au poivre, rack of lamb or beef carpaccio.

Anise and ripe plum on the nose. This wine is tasting amazing! A bit of a chocolate bomb with savoury characteristics. Tannins are smooth, cedar, tobacco and dark fruits present.
