Altesino’s 2006 Alte d’Altesi (Sangiovsese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon) is another plump, juicy wine loaded with dark fruit. Medium to full in body, it offers notable depth and polish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
This a beautiful set of wines from Altesino, a historic producer that in recent years has made noticeable strides to improve quality. Altesino ages its Brunellos in cask, while the wines in the Altesi range are aged in smaller French oak barrels.
