Altesino
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
2013. Definitely a wine that gets better with a few hours of air. Not to let any funk blow off, but to allow the sour cherry and herbal flavors to grow in. Soft tannins and medium acidity paired great with eggplant parmigiana and handmade linguine. Even better on day two, so I upped one-tenth.

I read someone describe this as a great "pizza wine" and I'd agree, in a good way!

Perfect for lasagna. Soft tannins with nice red fruits. Oak influence. Let it open up.

Some earth, medium-to-dark fruit, some licorice. Slightly tannic. Long finish.
