ALTESINO ROSSO DI TOSCANA 18

The attractive price and Brunello heritage have always made us refer to this wine as a “Baby Brunello”. (And this baby’s got roots. Altesino is a pioneering winery: the first to introduce the “Cru” concept with their “Montosoli” in 1975, the first to experiment with barriques in 1979, and the first to release Brunello futures in 1985.)The wine is predominantly Sangiovese. Cold-soaked and fermented in stainless steel, then aged up to eight months in tank and three months in bottle.
