Community Tasting Note

  October 4, 2023 - Corkaged at Estela in New York City, there was an air of relief opening up this 1998 Altesino after our previous bottle - a 1999 Il Poggione Riserva - was mildly oxidised. This wine feels like it's on its way out, but definitely has a bit of life left in it. A leathery and cedar driven nose leads into a palette that consisted of smoke, raspberries, cassis and a lot of tertiary qualities - cedar, forest floor - that you want from a mature Brunello. Drink up and enjoy now.
