    44 hectares, six parcels and one goal: to express Sangiovese Grosso as precisely as possible in a Rosso di Montalcino. Altesino extends over the eastern hills of the municipality – altesino, Macina, Pianezzine, Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Cerbaia and the legendary Montosoli, the first cru in the history of Brunello. The Rosso di Montalcino comes from the younger vines of these parcels – the same grape variety, the same terroir, an earlier moment in the life of the vine. 100% Sangiovese Grosso, the Brunello clone that has been cultivated here for decades. Fermentation in steel at a controlled temperature, then 6 to 8 months maturation in large Slavonian oak barrels of various ages – no barrique, no wood pressure, but that gentle structure that carries the Sangiovese without masking it. Three months in the bottle before release.

    Bright ruby red colour. Ripe black cherry, dark berries, a hint of leather and forest floor on the nose – classic and inviting. Generous and balanced on the palate, fruity and well-structured, with a long, pleasantly dry final. The shortest way to Montalcino. SUPERIORE.DE

    "Floral and slightly spicy, with a fresh fruit profile, this has red currants, pomegranate and deep graphite. Medium-bodied, it shines with concentration, weight and elegant tannins. The supersavory finish is sustained by crisp acidity." James Suckling

    "The 2024 Rosso di Montalcino is dusty and darkly floral. Rosemary and gravel dust on the entry give way to dried black cherries and hints of spice. This is silken and supple, with polished red berry fruit and perfumed inner rose tones that create a truly classic feel. Fresh acidity maintains energy and verve as the 2024 tapers off with a web of fine tannins and exceptional length. This is a fantastic Rosso from Altesino that verges on a baby Brunello." Vinous
