Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino Altero 2001
|
Sangiovese Grosso: Lots of bright fruit and licorice with just a hint of wood. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish.

The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Altero is the estate’s more modern Brunello. A saturated ruby, it offers an expressive, perfumed nose along with nuances of scorched earth, toasted oak, licorice and sweet dark fruit in a richly concentrated, expansive style. This deeply-flavored Brunello will require a few years to integrate and should drink well for at least another decade. Extended aeration is not suggested with this wine, however. Tasted alongside the regular bottling a day after opening, the Altero was less impressive than it was the day before, while the regular bottling was still developing positively. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019.
