Altesino Rosso di Montalcino

Depths of black cherry, cedar, cloves, mint and worn leather form a classic bouquet as the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino comes to life in the glass. This is silky-smooth and polished in feel, with racy red and black fruits that flow across a stream of vibrant acidity. It firms up nicely through the finish, gently tannic and classically dry. Licorice and spice notes linger on.

The unoaked 2022 Rosso di Montalcino offers redcurrant, dried raspberry, cherry cola, lavender candy and wild rose. The wine sticks to a classic Sangiovese playlist, with a slightly riper quality of fruit in this hot vintage. This is a nicely made Rosso with a soft close and good freshness. The glass packaging is environmentally friendly and lightweight in this production of 40,000 bottles.
