Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Altero 2017 0,75l

Altero from Poggio Antico offers a contemporary take on Brunello di Montalcino while staying true to its classical roots. Sangiovese grapes from elevated hillside vineyards provide bright acidity and finely etched aromas. After a gentle fermentation, the wine matures in medium‑sized oak casks, which frame the fruit without overpowering it. Aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry and blood orange mingle with hints of sweet spices, tobacco and leather. On the palate it is full‑bodied yet polished, with vibrant freshness and silky, well‑integrated tannins. A characterful Brunello that shines with braised beef, game dishes and mature cheeses.

Ageing in French tonneaux and oak casks adds spicy nuances to ripe red fruit and rounds out the Brunello in a modern style.
