The medium ruby-colored 1998 Rosso di Montalcino exhibits round, strawberry and cherry flavors with overripe plum notes. Velvety, medium-bodied, and fruity, it is meant to be consumed over the next 3-4 years.
One of my favorite Tuscan estates, Altesino's wines are consistently among the finest of the region. Importer:
