Altesino, Brunello di Montalcino “Montosoli” Magnum

Considered one of the first crus of Italy, Altesino’s single-vineyard “Montosoli” sits high above the Altesino estate where ancient limestone soils with a 360-degree exposure combine to yield a Brunello of exceptional style and elegance. One of the most sought-after collectibles from Montalcino. As with many 2015s, the “Montosoli” is extremely approachable after an hour decant. Seductive and plush with plenty of cellar life especially when you factor in the magnum format. We secured the last of the magnums in the country direct from the importer. Provenance is A++. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better price out there for these rare formats!

 In the glass, the wine performs like a seamless arietta offering refinement, purity, and chiseled structure at the core. Aromas of morello cherry, raspberry, and licorice jump from the glass with hints of violets and tar. Long and mineral-driven on the mid-palate with tannins that have become more integrated and finer with a few extra years of being in the bottle. This will not disappoint Brunelli aficionados.

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
