Tasting notes
The single-vineyard 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Altero boasts dark and saturated fruit with luscious cherry and blackberry aromas that have remained bright and balanced throughout the aging process (including two years in tonneaux). Those purple fruit tones are backed by light shadings of spice, leather, cola and balsam herb. This wine shows amazing depth and personality, and we can count on it to evolve gracefully over the next 10 years or more. Some 13,000 bottles were produced.

Mid to deep ruby. Marasca cherry with a hint of smoke. Youthful, fresh and with loads of crunchy tannins. Good balance and suppleness. (WS) (JR)
Mid crimson. Vegetal nose with some interest and complexity. Racy and suave with real interest and beautifully balanced. Silky texture and the purity that Brunello can deliver. (JR)
Ripe and rich aromas of dried fruits and figs with an orange undertone. Full body, chewy tannins and a rich finish. More fruit-forward style for this vintage.
