The 2019s from Altesino are some of the best new releases I can remember tasting at this address. The Brunello, a blend of vineyards throughout the region, is stunning with its depth, complexity and energy combination. However, in recent years, Altesino has worked to secure more vineyards in the north, except the Lavacchio vineyard, a new acquisition in the extreme southwest. As for the single vineyard Montosoli, a true northern wine, it's easily one of the vintage's top Brunellos. Its radiance is off the charts, and that helps push the terroir marker even higher. Both wines are refined for 24 months in large Slavonian oak casks. The 2019 reminded Alessandra Angelini of vintages of the 1990s, like 1990, 1996 and 1999.
