Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli 2013
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyMontosoli is the first single vineyard Montalcino wine, and a very special 5 ha vineyard in the north of the appellation, the classic centre of Montalcino. The rocky, limestone studded vineyard lies between 350-400m, and has always been regarded for its Montalcino. It was first made in 1975, and has only been made 20 times since (the best years, and best plots, only). This spends 48 months in the cellar: three years in Slavonian oak barrels, eight months in medium toasted Allier barriques and four final months in bottle. Such a beauty. Worn leather, dried leaves, dried cherry, tobacco, gentle mineral salts through the finish. Layers of complexity, with waves of bergamot and truffle. Graceful, with presence via the fine, firm, structural tannins, this is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age in your cellar.Tasted: 27 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $135.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
