Brunello di Montalcino, Altero,

The Altero Brunello is Poggio Antico's ode to innovation and experimentation, the grapes are sourced from the same vineyards as the Brunello and the wine is fermented in the same way, the main difference is the ageing which, for this, consists of 2 years of French oak tonneaux and 2 years in bottle. A concentrated but supple, pure and engaging wine, intense cherry, cherry skin and fruit stone flavours, touches of bullace and sweeter kirsch notes, ripe concentrated but fine and very juicy. From vines that face south 450 metres above se level, therefore ranking among some of the highest in Montalcino, Poggio Antico make refreshing pure and elegant Brunellos.
