Altesino Montosoli Brunello Di Montalcino
Altesino
Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018
My review is of Altesino Brunello….Not Montosoli, the single vineyard. I hope this does not confuse everyone.
If I had the opportunity to drink Montosoli…I would in a heartbeat.
Tenuta Caparzo
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016
The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. Caparzo is owned by Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, she also owns Altesino. Deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas with cedar, herbs and smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate cherry, plum & cranberry flavors, with leather, cacao, spice, herbs and tobacco notes. Lively acidity, fine approachable tannins, long ending with spicy mineral oak finish. — 2 years ago

Pertimali (Angelo Sassetti)
Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2006
Vineyard is in Montosoli. Fully mature and at a very high level.
Beautiful dark cherry nose with earth and a more savory element. Dark fruit, tobacco, cedar and herbs on the palate. Silky tannins. Complex, long and balanced. Abv 13.5 Really shows how wonderful aged Sangiovese can be. Judy says”I like Italian wines”. — 3 years ago

Go big. Invest in the deep drop. Rich and glorious. Black cherry, red currant, plum, orange peel, sarsaparilla, anise, and dried herbs. Classic Brunello that deserves air.
Who comes to Brunello for restraint? Wears 14.5% well. Purchase without hesitation and drink for the next 10+. — a month ago
