Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2013

Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyThe '13 Brunello is a savoury, floral, herbal, medicinal, forest floor affair with notes of bay leaf, cedar, balsamic and menthol. The texture is silky smooth, and the fruit vivid with notes of plums and strawberries spiked with orange and spice. It was a cooler year, presenting more aromatics and making it more approachable now. The sangiovese goes through a traditional ferment and four years of ageing, with two years in oak barrels. Roasted meats are a fine match.Tasted: 25 January 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
