Reviewed February 2024Pouring a rich ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino offers an attractive nose of cherry candies, sweet herbs, polished leather, and orange oils. It moves seamlessly to the palate with equally harmonious structure and a great, long finish. Medium to full-bodied, it lasts for ages. This is one of those wines that’s going to have a very wide drinking window and is exceptional already. (AF)

Wine Advocate
The Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a rich and savory side that this wine wears very well. There is a beautiful level of dark fruit that folds into the wine's velvety texture. Blackberry and plum envelop the palate, adding elegant full-bodied volume and fine tannins along the way. (ML)

Wine Enthusiast
Rocks and dirt and crushed wild herbs strike a dexterous balance with wild strawberry, sour cherry on the nose. The cherries and strawberry sweeten with notes of raspberry jam. Bitter, earthy underbrush and grippy tannins form a firm foundation for aging. (DC)

Vinous
A dark ruby color in the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a beguiling blend of dusty earth, crushed rocks, savory herbs and dried roses. This is racy and sleek, with vividly ripe wild berry fruits elevated by orange and sage, all guided by vibrant acidity. Grippy tannins take control through the finish, yet the mouth is left watering for more as a bitter licorice tinge and dark chocolate adds a crunchy sensation. (EG)
Notes
Altesino’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is a classic and finely structured Sangiovese, combining elegance, depth, and aging potential. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe cherry, dried rose, and blood orange, framed by notes of tobacco, leather, and sweet spice. On the palate, refined tannins and vibrant acidity support a core of red fruit, savory herbs, and earthy undertones. The finish is long and balanced, with lingering notes of balsamic, cedar, and mineral lift. A beautifully composed Brunello that reflects both tradition and finesse.
