Introduction:
The 2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Cru Montosoli is a single-vineyard masterpiece from one of Montalcino’s most prized sites. This wine exemplifies the elegance and structure of top-tier Sangiovese, showing both pedigree and aging potential.

Terrior:
Grown on the Montosoli hill, located north of Montalcino at 350–400 meters elevation, where galestro-rich soils and northeast exposure provide excellent drainage, slow ripening, and vibrant acidity—ideal conditions for Sangiovese.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with garnet edges, showing concentration and youthful intensity.

Nose:
Aromas of black cherry, dried raspberry, and rose petals, layered with notes of tobacco, balsamic, crushed stone, and subtle oak spice.

Palate:
Full-bodied and refined, with tightly woven tannins and a core of dark red fruit, orange peel, and savory herbs. There’s a mineral drive and a touch of licorice that adds to its depth.

Finish:
Long, complex, and persistent, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a distinctive saline-mineral edge that speaks of Montosoli’s unique soils.

Overall Impression:
The 2019 Montosoli is a powerful yet graceful Brunello, built for aging but already compelling in its youth. It represents the pinnacle of terroir-driven Tuscan winemaking.
