Altesino, Sangiovese, Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 2019

Montosoli is a vineyard of about 5 hectares to the north east of Montalcino at an altitude between 350 and 400 meters, whose grapes were fermented and aged separately for the first time after the 1975 harvest. The composition of the soil (marly limestone and siliceous limestone representing the Alberese era with lithoid components dating from the same period), the unique position and particular microclimate contribute to aging the grapes which produce an extremely complex and elegant wine.

Brunello Montosoli has a deep ruby red color which turns a garnet red with age. Its bouquet has outstanding character with hints of black cherry, blackberries, raspberries, violet, licorice, vanilla and a slight accent of pink peppercorn. On the palate it reveals a dry, warm, velvety flavor, rich in substance and noble pedigree, ending with a warm note that lingers persuasively.
