What happened at Altesino in 2001? The straight Brunello didn’t show any technical flaws other than being grossly over the hill. The Montosoli was good, but far from great, and lagging behind other producers from this esteemed vineyard. As for the Riserva, a selection of the best barrels in the cellar, it showed the most balance. This is the only wine I would choose to place into my own cellar. However, the odd performance of the other two wines prompted me to look back at the reviews of my predecessors, and I thought it prudent to note a few of their comments here. “Unfortunately the estate's 2001s have proven to be very inconsistent in my multiple tastings of the wines… Underlying notes of mustiness and greenness convey an overall impression of rusticity that is out of character for Altesino...” Antonio Galloni on the 2001 Altesino Brunello Montosoli, in 2006. “If I smelled this wine out of a black glass, I would have thought I was drinking a white wine. How does one rate an oddball like this?” Stephen Tanzer on the Altesino Brunello, in 2006. With all of that said, the 2001 Riserva really is in a wonderful place today, and worth checking out.
