Description
From one of Brunello di Montalcino's most prominent producers comes this unoaked blend of 80% Sangiovese, plus dollops of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. As a result of no oak contact, Altesino's forward fruitiness takes centre stage. Filled with vibrant raspberry, plum and sour cherry, it is dry, fruity, balanced and long-finishing. This is a wine that calls out for pasta with mushrooms and onions.

Tasting Notes
The blend here is 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot filling out the roster. Floral, with delicate cherry and plum notes on the nose. Easygoing and approachable, this unoaked wine puts the focus right on the depth of ripe red and black fruit. Try this with roasted chicken, or with grilled meats and mushrooms.
