Sangiovese-led blend from Altesino in Montalcino, showing minerals and bright red fruit with violet and olive notes on a smooth, juicy mid-palate. This is structured Tuscan wine that doesn't demand a decade in the cellar. Drink it now and taste what a contemporary Sangiovese should be.
Tasting Notes
An attractive nose of minerals, ripe red and blue fruit and touches of violets, black olives and stones. The palate is smooth and juicy, with a medium body and lively fruit in the middle. Balanced and focused. Drink or hold.

About the Producer
Near the end of 2002, Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, owner of nearby Tenuta Caparzo, purchased the Altesino winery. Today's winemaking team, led by Simone Giunti and Alessandro Ciacci, is firmly committed to maintaining Altesino’s hard-earned reputation as a Montalcino institution and a global leader in innovative winemaking.
Amid the eastern hills of Montalcino near Siena in central Tuscany, stands the magnificently elegant 14th century-built Palazzo Altesi, home to the Altesino winery and a marvelous resort.
