"Delicato rivela la propria essenza nei tratti floreali di ibisco, agapanto, gerani in fiore ed ortensie. In sottofondo la maturità si mette in luce nelle note gentili di ciliegie e petali di rosa. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini setosi ed un finale compresso di brillante vivacità . Meglio dal 2021."

"Pura classe nel calice con il carattere predominante del Sangiovese che richiama la bellezza mediterranea nei fiori bianchi, nel mirto selvatico e nel succo d'arancia. Mi piace il sottofondo vivace che mostra note di timo ed eucalipto e dona fascino ed intrigo all'etichetta in questione. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini soffici sapientemente estratti e bilanciati nella struttura ed un finale leggermente sapido nella parte laterale di media persistenza. Che classe! Meglio dal 2021."

"(2015) This wine is a selection of Altesino's six crus, planted on clay soils with sand and marine deposits. It had four years of ageing in total, with two in large Slavonian oak casks, and has 14.0% abv. Beautiful colour showing some luminosity, and what a knock-out nose, not at all heavy but bursting with ripe cherry and briar, cream and gentle smokiness. Just gorgeous on the palate too I must say, the spice and tobacco of the subtle oak melted into that full, deep fruit, enough firm tannin and juicy cherry acidity to balance into a very long finish. Beautifully approachable but undoubtedly age-worthy too. £26.95, Roberson."

"Leggermente timido a primo impatto mostra note di succo di mandarino, gerani, magnolia e fiori di sambuco. Delicato e suadente mostra un corpo medio, tannini soffici ed un finale genuino poco ritoccato che chiede di tornare al calice. Sottilissima percezione alcolica in aftertasting, senza quella sarebbe stato tra i migliori 2017, senza ombra di dubbio. Meglio dal 2022."

"Altesino is part of an elite group of vintners that really put Montalcino on the international wine map. Its 2008 Brunello shows some of the nervous acidity that is typical of the vintage, but it also delivers soft tones of cherry fruit, spice and chocolate that round off any sharp edges."

"Delikate Nase, Aromen von roten Beeren und Gewürzen; charakteristische Säure und feinkörniges Tannin gehen eine Einheit ein, viel Schmelz und Saft bis in den langen Ausklang. Überzeugt auch in diesem Jahr mit seiner Finesse."
