誰不愛 Brunello？ Barolo 與 Brunello（全名是 Brunello di Montalcino ）可以說是義大利酒中的瑜與亮，論重要性大概相當於法國酒的 Bordeaux 與 Burgundy。
托斯卡尼的領導者 Altesino酒莊 ( 阿堤斯諾)- 以創造葡萄與土壤自然結合,釀造出義大利高品質的葡萄酒為理,並多次入選 Wine Spectator 最具代表性的義大利酒第二名
Altesino 酒莊內有一座14世紀的 Altesi 城堡，這裡原來屬於托斯卡納貴族Tricerchi 家族。如今酒莊的中心還留存著古樸的城堡牆壁，古老的橡木大門上方，白色大理石製作的家譜還清晰可見, 的酒窖座落在位於葡萄園後古城牆 Palazzo，受利於其自然坡度以及建造現代化的設施來發酵、提煉和瓶裝。 品質重視─絲絨般的口感釀製經典,主要以創造高品質的葡萄酒為理念，注重每個細節，一直保有現代釀酒技術，釀岀絲絨般，優雅又飽滿的葡萄酒，讓這個酒莊可以繼續成為活生生的傳奇。酒莊不僅著重在生產，也致力於行銷、溝通以及形象建立。
1975年，Altesino酒莊在 Montalcino 地區首次引入了「Cru」理念（意指特級園地塊，Altesino酒莊的 Montosoli 葡萄園，生產的葡萄酒極其優雅）； 1979年，酒莊開始使用225升法國小橡木桶陳釀葡萄酒的實驗；1985年，酒莊率先預售Brunello期酒,在此 Altesino 酒莊還在當地Sangiovese葡萄品種的釀造技術發展中做出了很多重要的創新研究。在屬於複雜空間的 Montalcino ，這個小山丘在 Montalcino 被確定為第一級CRU之一所在地。位於Montalcino 的N-O，約7公里處。從鎮中心，佔地約30公頃，其中約一半用為葡萄園佔地。Montosoli 區土地自中世紀以來對於葡萄種植和生產葡萄酒是緊密相連的。土壤中含有豐富的礦物質和化石燃料，如頁岩，泥灰岩，石英，在陽光下暴晒下，氣候較為乾燥，多風，比蒙塔爾奇諾來得涼爽。這些特性有助於生產大量複雜精緻的葡萄生長。從這個山上種植了CRU中最頂級葡萄酒。

Altesino Montosoli 2011jpgJames Suckling Tasting Notes- “”A very ripe style with prune, berry and salted-nut aromas and flavors. Full body, savory intensity and a long, flavorful finish. Lots of juicy, fabulous fruit. Shows the greatness of the vineyard. Drink or hold.”
Points: 94
Robert Parker Tasting note: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli provides us with one of the most beautiful tastes of Brunello in 2011. The secret here is that fruit is sourced from the Montosoli cru in the northern side of the appellation that performed very nicely in this warm vintage. The wine reaches excellent balance between power and elegance. It leaves a statement but never feels overwhelming. That intensity is presented in terms of fruit freshness, cherry, blackberry and currant. It also comes forth as spice, tobacco and leather. The mouthfeel is exceedingly smooth and silky. The tannins are integrated and soft. Montosoli is planted to a special clone that is grafted over when the vines die. The clone has never been replaced. Because the vineyard is located on the north side of the appellation, it was protected from the heat this vintage. This wine will be released in April 2016.

Altesino BDM 2011jpgWine Enthusiast Tasting Notes- “Fragrant and sleek, this opens with scents of blue flower, pressed powder, perfumed berry and chopped herb. The balanced, full-bodied palate delivers licorice, ripe black cherry, clove and tobacco while firm, velvety tannins lend structure and finesse. “
Robert Parker Tasting note: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino shows a very distinct personality that separates it from its peers. There’s a dark, mysterious and masculine side to this wine that is evident from first impact. The bouquet offers infinite layers of black fruit, plum, spice, cumin seed and crushed clove. You get a great sense of moist earth, tobacco and forest floor. Nothing is obvious. The wine keeps you guessing sip after sip. It would benefit from more years of cellar aging, but it’s really not that far off from optimal drinking.
