Altesino Rosso di Montalcino (2024)

Altesino is one of Montalcino’s pioneering estates, celebrated for shaping the modern identity of Brunello with an elegant, terroir‑driven style. Founded in 1970 and now led by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, the winery farms 110 acres across some of the region’s most prized hillside sites. Their wines balance richness with finesse—bright cherry fruit, warm Tuscan spice, and the unmistakable depth of Sangiovese grown in Montalcino’s sun‑soaked, mineral‑rich soils. Whether Rosso or Brunello, Altesino offers a polished, authentic taste of one of Italy’s most iconic wine regions.

Brilliant ruby-red color, this classic Rosso offers sumptuous aromas of ripened blackberries and dark cherries. On the palate, the wine is generously well-rounded and rich with fruit forward notes complimented by hints of leather and mesquite. A perfect choice for rich, creamy pasta dishes, stuffed roasted game hens or barbecued chorizo or other sausages.
