The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli was slightly closed at the time of our tasting. It later opened to show dark fruit, licorice and that special mineral tone that comes from this vineyard site with shale soils. The mouthfeel is streamlined, having shed its baby fat, and the effect on the palate is indeed quite elegant and polished. — Wine Advocate, Nov 2024

“The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is quite mineral in the glass. Ashes stones, savory grilled herbs and smoked meats give way to woodland berries. This is dark and radiant, showing the classic racy fruit of the year, yet unbelievably soft and plaint, taking on a saline edginess toward the close. It finishes youthfully coy with dusty tannins, leaving just a touch of lingering licorice. The Montosoli is understated today, yet with a feminine beauty and inner sweetness I find attractive.” — Vinous, Dec 2023
