    Riserva is not a marketing term – it is a legal obligation. A Brunello may only be called Riserva if it is marketed no earlier than the 6th year after the grape harvest – at least two years in oak barrels and six months in the bottle. And it may only be produced if the vintage justifies it. So there is not a Riserva every year. It is only produced when the grapes demand it. And 2020 demanded it: a warm, dry year in Montalcino with concentrated ripeness, smaller berries and an intensity that gives fullness in the Annata-Brunello – and becomes something deeper in the Riserva. Altesino selected the best grapes from its four main parcels: Altesino, Macina, Pianezzine, Castelnuovo dell'Abate. 100% Sangiovese Grosso. Traditional fermentation, maturation in large oak barrels, then bottle ageing. Altesinos Riserva 2020 brings the power and concentration of the vintage.

    Garnet red colour with deep luminosity. Intense and slightly ethereal on the nose – ripe fruit, humus, tobacco, dried violets, a hint of vanilla and spices. Remarkable structure and extraordinary breadth on the palate – powerful, balanced, with great depth. Storage potential: 20 to 30 years. For the impatient: decant. For everyone else: wait, it's worth it! SUPERIORE.DE
