The driving force that this company has given to Brunello is also revealed by the introduction of the concept of Cru: Montosoli is in fact a vineyard of approximately 5 hectares in the north-eastern area of Montalcino at an altitude between 350 and 400 metres, whose grapes were vinified separately for the first time with the 1975 harvest. The composition of the soil (marly limestone and siliceous limestone referable to the Alberese with lithoid components from the same period), the happy exposure and the particular microclimate contribute to the maturation of grapes that produce a wine of extreme complexity and elegance. Brunello Montosoli has an intense ruby red color that fades into garnet with aging. On the nose it denotes an exceptional personality with notes of black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, violet, liquorice, vanilla and slight hints of pink pepper. In the mouth it reveals a dry, warm, velvety flavour, a rich texture and a noble breed. The finish is warm and long-lasting. For its Cru Montosoli, the Altesino obtained important international recognition when Wine Spectator defined it as the second most representative vineyard of the Italian reality.
