This small vineyard produced one of Italy’s first “cru” wines. Located at the top of Altesino’s vineyards is the prestigious Montosoli vineyard where ancient limestone soils with the 360 degree exposure combine to yield a Brunello of exceptional style and elegance.
One of the most sought after wines from Montalcino, Montosoli is consistently a blockbuster red. Its intense ruby red color tends towards elegant garnet with age. On the nose, it shows a complex personality with a delicious blend of black cherry, raspberry, violet, licorice, vanilla and black pepper. Extremely enticing, opulent and elegant on the palate, with a warm, long-lasting finish, Montosoli is a wine for special occasions.
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Montosoli is intense, with a penetrating bouquet of crushed black cherries, stone dust, cedar spice box and worn leather. Vividly ripe red berry fruits meet crisp mineral tones and an air of sweet lavender. Balanced throughout, it leaves a web of fine-grained tannins and a subtle licorice tinge while finishing with remarkable length.
