Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Tuscany 20 Roserock Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills

Roserock Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills has become increasingly key to the winery’s success since the Drouhins purchased the 122-acre vineyard in 2013

It’s going to need some time in cellar to show its best

which was a slightly more generous and later harvest than 2013 with bigger berries

This just seems cooler in personality to my palate than the Sunbasket Vineyard bottling this year

Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, Tuscany 20 Roserock Vineyard in Eola-Amity Hills98 points limited One of the top scoring Brunello Riservas from the vintage! Limited. 98 Points Wine Spectator: "This is fluid and starts out supple, evoking cherry, plum and forest floor flavors, with flashes of tar and pine. The taut, driving structure, especially its bracing acidity, propels this red to the superlong aftertaste. Dense, resonant tannins define the finish, which feels compact now despite the unabashed length. Best from 2029 through
