2013 Top 100 - Rank #42
The unique microclimate, limestone soils and position of the cru vineyard 'Montosoli' are the foundation of this special Brunello. The 2008 is absolutely gorgeous, offering lovely aromas of bing cherries, raspberries, spices, earthy tones with vanilla and floral notes adding another layer of complexity. This classy Brunello is balanced and focused with wonderful purity and a lovely inner sweetness. The fine tannins make a graceful transition into the silky finish. A stunning wine from Altesino that truly shows the unique character and quality of the vineyard. (Best 2016-2030) - March, 2013 (JD)
