The winery’s outlook combines an essential respect for the trust in tradition with a forward-looking perspective, resulting in wine that retains the unique and high quality reputation of Brunello. From its emphasis on traditional methods of agriculture, the careful hand selection of the grapes, to the rose bushes which overlook each of the vines, Altesino firmly maintains its control over quality, principle that governs every aspect of life and work at the estate. Part of Altesino’s historical cellars are situated within the historic walls of Palazzo Altesi, while behind the vineyards and benefiting from a natural slope, its modern functional facilities were built; where fermentation, refining and bottling take place. The modern winery was built with a special focus on eco-sustainability: due to its underground location it is perfectly insulated. While respecting the ancient territory of Montalcino, the Altesino winery is not only a functional and innovative workplace but also, and above all, a place with low environmental impact, built according to the dictates of sustainable architecture.

Massively dense yet agile and bright. It goes on for minutes. -James Suckling TENUTA NUOVA 2012: Wine Spectator, 94 pts., Wine Advocate, 96 pts.: This edition of Casanova di Neri‘s celebrated single-vineyard wine opens to a luminous garnet color and exuberant fruit aromas. It offers a lot to the bouquet, from sweet cherry aromas to savory tones of tobacco and leather. This wine shows a powerful inner motor of flavor concentration and density that propels it forward. All that density and richness wraps thickly over the palate. This is a lasting wine of brawn and muscle. - Monica Larner. TENUTA NUOVA 2013*: Wine Spectator, 96 pts., Wine Advocate, 97 pts., J. Suckling 98 pts.: A vivid and bright red with intense blueberries and raspberries. Floral undertones and tons of citrus, too! Full-bodied, dense and layered. Polished tannins and fantastic fruit. The muscularity of the structure is what gives this wine focus and intensity. So serious for the vintage. Give it time to show its greatness. Drink in 2022 - James Suckling TENUTA NUOVA 2016*: Wine Spectator, 95 pts., Wine Advocate, 97 pts.: J. Suckling 99 pts.: Aromas of blackberries, cherries, violets and bark with mahogany. It’s full-bodied and chewy with intense tannins that are layered and focused. The fruit is pure and purposeful, yet not over done. Wonderful strength and purity to this. CLASS is the word - James Suckling
