Altesino Montosoli (Red)

2018

Red. Closed cedar aromas, hints of garrigue. Intense jammy black fruit, well-extracted spice. Rich and luscious with long fresh, fine acidity, subdued but crunchy tannins. Slightly grainy texture. Lovely balance. Lots of black cherries. Pretty extraction that makes this more drinkable than expected for 2018. Creamy chocolatey smoothness on the finish combined with subtle notes of roasting coffee and black berries. Lovely wine that does what Brunello does best.
