WINE DESCRIPTION
Altesino Toscana Rosso is a premium red wine produced by Altesino, a renowned winery located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, sourced from the winery's own vineyards in the Montalcino appellation. The vineyards are situated at an altitude, with a mix of clay and limestone soils that impart unique flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, elegant red with notes of red berries, cherries, and spices, and a smooth, lingering finish.
