About the Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2021
The 2021 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino is a vibrant and highly aromatic expression of a stellar vintage, noted for its exceptional freshness and "crunchy" fruit profile. It presents a bright ruby-red colour and opens with an ethereal bouquet of violets, lavender, and fresh red berries, seamlessly layered with sophisticated notes of tobacco, dark chocolate, and a hint of cedar. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and impeccably balanced, showcasing a silky texture supported by fine-grained tannins and a focused line of acidity. The finish is remarkably long and energetic, leaving persistent impressions of raspberry, savory herbs, and a refined mineral lift.
Food Pairing: Perfectly matches with roasted lamb, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù over pappardelle, mushroom risotto, and aged cheeses like Pecorino Toscano.
A lively Brunello with aromas of plums, ripe cherries, cedar and teak that follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crisp finish. Crunchy and linear. Lovely energy at the end. Drink or hold.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Altesino 2021 Brunello di Montalcino was a little shy when I tasted it, but knowing the track record of this estate, I have no doubt that the wine will flesh out with bottle age. Give it a year or two more. The bouquet offers blackcurrant and wild berry with a dark mineral note and grilled herb. Pressed violet also rises to the top of the wine, which is firmly structured and very lively in terms of mouthfeel. This popular release of 110,000 bottles ages in Slavonian oak casks only.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
The flavors of black cherry, blackberry and black currant are pure, with accents of violet, wild herbs and earth. This is smooth, picking up chalky tannins as the flavors build to the lengthy conclusion. Best from 2028 through 2045.
