The single-vineyard 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Altero boasts dark and saturated fruit with luscious cherry and blackberry aromas that have remained bright and balanced throughout the aging process (including two years in tonneaux). Those purple fruit tones are backed by light shadings of spice, leather, cola and balsam herb. This wine shows amazing depth and personality, and we can count on it to evolve gracefully over the next 10 years or more. Some 13,000 bottles were produced.

This red is bright, with cherry, currant and Mediterranean scrub flavors accented by tar and tobacco. A beam of sweet ripe fruit is the focus, with the dense texture nicely integrated. The long finish is fresh and detailed, picking up graphite notes and a hint of blood orange. Best from 2021 through 2026. 1,800 cases made, 600 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
