Brunello Riserva offers a solid, full-body and excellent aging potential. Its ample and complex bouquet is reminiscent of violets, wild berries, cedar, leather, tobacco and spices. On the palate, it is austere and seductive with a perfect blend of fruit, acidity and mouth-coating tannins. This is the ideal bottle for Brunello lovers.
Pair with Steak au poivre, rack of lamb or beef carpaccio.
96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva holds tight to its unique character and power. The classic 2016 vintage produced generous wines that are layered and rich but also coiled tightly at their core. This wine exemplifies this point, adding lots of tart Sangiovese fruit and freshness along the way. It also shows an impressive richness of flavours with dried cherry, licorice, pressed violets, balsam herb and dusty limestone. Should you decide to drink it early, the caveat with this wine is that it needs extra time to open (and a double decanting would also help). This 10,000-bottle production opens beautifully in time.
