Tonight the wine I have opened is the 2015 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 100% Sangiovese. On the nose I find cherry, strawberry, red plum, roasted pepper, dried roses, tomato and brick. On the palate there is tart red cherry, red plum, strawberry, licorice, leather, herbs and earth. This wine is medium to full bodied with medium + to high acidity and medium + to high polished fine tannins that move seamlessly to a long red fruit brickish gravelly finish. This is a beautiful well balanced wine that will age well for another 10-15 years. Have a wonderful rest of your week and please stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia!

Young but beautiful. Great with 1 hr decant. Many upside years ahead

Altesino's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino offers a rich yet classic expression of Sangiovese fruit, showing ripe red berries coated in dusty earth tones, with hints of leather and dried florals completing the picture. On the palate, brisk acids frame silky textures, creating a polished expression of red and black fruits, savory spice and saline-minerals. The finish is long yet fresh, as cooling mint and licorice tones carry remnants of red berry fruit hovering above a core of fine tannins. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2020)

2015 vintage. Dark crimson red. Plums, cherry, tobacco and leather aromas. Bing cherries, cassis, mushrooms, orange peel, clove and toasted spice. Polished tannins and bright acidity. This wine paired very well with Matsutake Okonomiyaki.

Very nice brunello. Don’t always love 2015 but this has great red fruit, nice tannins, and great acid. Perfect pairing with a steak topped with some excellent olive oil a la a Tuscan steak.
