Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Montosoli' 2019
Vintage Character
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 'Montosoli' from Altesino stands as a benchmark single-vineyard wine from one of the region’s most revered crus. The 2019 vintage in Montalcino is widely celebrated for its outstanding quality, shaped by a warm summer and cool nights that fostered optimal ripeness and vibrant acidity.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Awarded an impressive 97 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, this Brunello opens with an alluring bouquet of red cherry, ripe plum, violet, and hints of sweet tobacco, seamlessly layered with sandalwood and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is distinguished by its refined structure and elegance, featuring fine-grained tannins that support juicy red fruit, earthy spice, and mineral undertones. The finish is long and persistent, echoing notes of dark chocolate and balsamic. This wine pairs beautifully with classic Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla fiorentina, and also complements refined Western fare like duck breast with cherry jus or aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, making it a versatile choice for a range of sophisticated cuisines.
Winery Background
Altesino is renowned as a trailblazer in Brunello di Montalcino, having pioneered the single-vineyard concept with Montosoli in 1975. The estate’s dedication to terroir-driven winemaking is evident through meticulous vineyard management, which emphasizes sustainable practices and minimal intervention. Montosoli’s north-facing slopes, composed of limestone and clay soils, consistently yield Sangiovese grapes of remarkable intensity and balance, reflecting the site’s unique microclimate and soil composition. Altesino’s winemaking philosophy is centered on expressing the purity and nuance of Sangiovese, utilizing traditional aging in large Slavonian oak casks alongside precise modern techniques to achieve authenticity and elegance. Their legacy as stewards of Montalcino’s heritage is affirmed by the consistent acclaim their wines receive from critics and collectors around the world.
