This elegant wine offers a polished and smooth mouthfeel with finely tuned tannins. The oak is also expertly managed to show some light spice that is deeply integrated into a silky mouthfeel. Of the village Brunellos I tasted from 2020, this one offers excellent quality and will prove easily to locate thanks to its ample release of 110,000 bottles.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95\/100, Monica Larner, RobertParker, Nov 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Very pretty and floral with raspberries and black cherries on the nose, as well as violet undertones. Medium-bodied with chewy tannins, though integrated and polished. Long, intense finish. Extremely well done for the vintage. Drink after 2026, but already solid.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95\/100, James Suckling, Sep 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2019 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a rich and savory side that this wine wears very well. There is a beautiful level of dark fruit that folds into the wine's velvety texture. Blackberry and plum envelop the palate, adding elegant full-bodied volume and fine tannins along the way. The wine is aged in traditional Slavonian casks, and production reaches 110,000 bottles annually (which is very ambitious considering this level of quality).\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e95\/100, Monica Larner, RobertParker, Dec 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2013 Vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"An intense perfume of juniper, bay laurel, sage, rose and berry marks this silky red. The structure is there, yet superb balance and refined tannins help this retain elegance through the long finish. Almost ethereal in its presence.
