The 2010 single vineyard Brunello di Montalcino from the Montosoli cru is an absolutely compelling wine from Altesino. As this slowly unwinds it releases attractive aromas of sweet red berries, blackberries and plums which are layered with exotic spices, citrus peel, sage, fresh floral and wet stones. This elegant and pure Brunello impresses with its outstanding balance and finesse as well as its fine silky tannins that are beautifully integrated into the velvety texture. Everything comes together gracefully on the long silky finish. While the Montosli is certainly very appealing, even at this early stage, however it is ultimately an age worthy wine that will benefit from further bottle age. (Best 2017-2034) - March, 2015 (JD)
