Savory berries, raw spices and hints of stones, mushroom and old leather on the nose follow through to a textured, medium-bodied palate with some bitter herbs in the finish. Fine, mouth-coating tannins give it a tight, pithy closure.

Altesino makes this Rosso di Montalcino entirely from select Sangiovese Grosso grapes sourced from the younger vines in the Altesino, Pianezzine, Macina, and Castelnuovo dell’Abate vineyards. After the fermentation process in stainless steel, the wine ages in large barrels of varied maturity for six to eight months followed by three months in bottle. The final wine is a perfect and accessible introduction to the terroir of Montalcino.

Moderately saturated medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of raspberry, mocha and herbs, with an idea of cough medicine. Nicely delineated in a distinctly rocky, juicy style, but the gentle raspberry and floral flavors come across as a little shrill. The tannins are firm but not too astringent and provide backbone on the medium-long finish.

Sangiovese

Sangiovese is a red wine grape predominantly associated with Italy, particularly in the Tuscany region. Known for its high acidity and versatile nature, Sangiovese produces wines with bright red fruit flavors, including cherry and strawberry, along with floral and herbal notes. Famous Tuscan wines such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are primarily made from Sangiovese. The grape's character can vary depending on the winemaking style and the specific terroir, ranging from lighter, more approachable styles to complex, age-worthy wines with robust tannins and a distinct sense of place. Sangiovese wines are often praised for their food-friendly acidity and ability to express the unique characteristics of the regions where they are grown.
