Altesino Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Tasting Notes

This is fluid and starts out supple, evoking cherry, plum and forest floor flavors, with flashes of tar and pine. The taut, driving structure, especially its bracing acidity, propels this red to the superlong aftertaste. Dense, resonant tannins define the finish, which feels compact now despite the unabashed length. Best from 2029 through 2048. Collectible. (Bruce Sanderson,winespectator.com,June 30, 2025)
