Altesino’s fascinating ageing cellars are situated within the historic walls of Palazzo Altesi, while advanced technical facilities for processes such as fermentation, ageing and bottling are located in a building set into the side of the hill overlooking the vineyards. Altesino has always been dedicated to producing top quality wines, which is why so much attention is devoted to every single detail at every stage in production, marketing, communications and image.
– Description from Mimi Kim
Medium bodied goodness. I get strawberry, cherry and a lil ole touch of mocha, but what the hell does my palate know anyway. Went super with some dumbed down Italian we ordered in.

Altesino Rosso di Montalcino 2010
Snoothrank:
Blackberry flavors. Thin feeling. Not bad, but I have had better at this price point. A little too much of an alcohol taste. Drink the day you open it. Not so good the second day. Read More

Altesino Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino 1999
Snoothrank:
The nose showed a dark shade of ripe strawberry in moist earth with tobacco and leather. On the palate it was medium-bodied and silky with a core of acidity ushering in red fruits, dried cinnamon and rocky minerals. A hint of structure lingered on the finish with dried red fruits and hints of spice. Read More
