Understanding Altesino, Brunello di Montalcino, Montosoli, Tuscany
At Altesino, meticulous vineyard management on the 5-hectare site ensures the highest quality of Sangiovese grapes. The vineyard's northeastern exposure offers optimal conditions for grape ripening. In the winery, the Sangiovese undergoes fermentation in steel before being aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 30 months, with additional bottle ageing to further develop its complex character. This meticulous process results in a Brunello that beautifully expresses its unique terroir.
