One of Altesino's flagship 'Super Tuscan' blends, Alte d'Altesi combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot for a powerful yet balanced red. Gently pressed and fermented in steel before aging 12-14 months in medium-toasted Allier barriques, it shows dense dark fruit and a firm structure that pairs well with rich, protein-forward dishes.
Altesino's answer to the Super Tuscan movement — structured enough for Cabernet fans, but with a Sangiovese backbone that keeps it distinctly Tuscan.
