Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli 2012

Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyAt Altesino the development of the Cru concept has helped to push the quality up in the top wine: Montosoli is a 5-hectare vineyard that sits between 350 and 400 metres above sea level but only a small part of that goes into this cru offering. The fruit was first fermented and aged separately back in 1975. In the years it is made, 20 Montosoli have been released since 1975, it spends 48 months in the cellar: three years in Slavonian oak barrels, eight months in medium toasted Allier barriques and four final months in bottle. We love the 2012 Montosoli for its elegance and refinement. Look for fresh, floral aromas of black and red fruits that spill onto the palate with bits of tobacco, earth, liquorice and pepper. A pure sangiovese statement made to age a decade or two or serve with a mushroom risotto, venison or beef.Tasted: 17 April 2017Tasted by: Prices:
