Altesino Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021
Vintage Character
From the prestigious Tuscan hills of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, the 2021 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino captures a highly celebrated growing season. The 2021 vintage benefited from a cool spring and a warm, dry summer, punctuated by crucial late-August rains that allowed the Sangiovese grapes to reach optimal phenolic ripeness with vibrant acidity. Altesino’s vineyards span diverse northern and southern microclimates, featuring soils rich in clay, limestone, and Tuscan galestro schist, which together yield a wine of remarkable structural complexity and balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
This refined red offers an expressive nose of dark cherry, wild strawberry, crushed violets, and subtle undertones of leather and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it reveals a medium-to-full-bodied structure supported by fine, chalky tannins and a lively spine of acidity that carries into a long, mineral-driven finish. Pair this elegant Brunello with classic Florentine steak, roasted rack of lamb with rosemary, or a savory Chinese slow-braised beef brisket.
Winery Background
Founded in 1970 and acquired by the Gnudi Angelini family in 2002, Altesino is a historic pioneer in Montalcino, renowned for introducing the single-vineyard concept to the region. The estate emphasizes sustainable viticulture and hand-harvesting to preserve fruit integrity. In the cellar, winemakers employ traditional fermentation followed by extensive aging in Slavonian oak casks to craft wines that beautifully balance modern precision with classic Tuscan character.
