Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2007

Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyFragrant open black cherry, floral, nose with meaty, tobacco, saddle leather and savoury notes. The attack is fresh, supple and elegant on the palate with peppery, orange peel, sweet plum jam flecked with liquorice, coffee, saddle leather and cedar notes. Drink now and over the next 2-4 years. Altesino spends a minimum of four years at the winery ageing and at least two of those in oak. It is 100 sangiovese grosso hand-harvested from the Altesino, Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Macina, and Pianezzine vineyards in the north part of Montalcino.
