Altesino Alte d'Altesi 2013
Tuscany, ItalyMy first look at Alte d'Altesi - a blend of sangiovese, cabernet sauvignon and merlot mixed in equal quantities. The nose is remarkable so fresh and open with inviting notes of black cherries and plums. The palate is similar with floral redcurrant, violet notes with a slightly spiced vanilla finish. An impressive elegant style that spends 12-14 months in French barriques followed by 3 months in bottles. No rush to drink this. The name of the wine translates to "highest in Altesi," a nod to grapes sourced from some of the estate's highest vineyards.Tasted: 17 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $27.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
