Description
The Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli 2018 is characterized by a dark, concentrated ruby-red color with notes of crushed black cherry, blueberry, and dark chocolate on the nose. It offers a rich, complex, and supple palate with flavors of dark red berries, herbs, and earthy minerals, balanced by fine, firm tannins and a vibrant, long, and elegant finish. This dense, layered, and age-worthy wine showcases the distinct character of the Montosoli vineyard, with hints of spice and balsamic spice adding to its depth.
James Suckling: 97 points — “This has a complex nose of cranberries, dried pineapple, soy, bark, cardamom, mocha, iodine and wet leather. Full‑bodied, with firm and very fine tannins. It really builds in intensity, expanding into a broad array of fresh and dried fruit and espresso‑bean, before converging again on a long and driven finish. Fantastic already.”
