B‑21 normally has excellent service. The shipments apparently got a little behind for the holidays in the year 2024. There were some confusion in three of my orders, but eventually this was cleared up after the new year.

Great place to order wine. I order when it is free shipping and I send it to a local business so I don’t have to wait around to sign for the wine. They have very good prices and a great selection. Very happy to do business with them.

I really like their free shipping which they offer once a month, but I am a bit disappointed that it doesn’t include slightly lower priced cases of wine even when you’re ordering additional higher price cases.

2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino (750ml)

Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

“The 2019s from Altesino are some of the best new releases I can remember tasting at this address. The Brunello, a blend of vineyards throughout the region, is stunning.”

Eric Guido, Vinous

A favorite of B-21 Brunello collectors and acclaimed by critics across the board, the rich and full-bodied 95 pt. 2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino lives up to the estate’s exceptional reputation for over delivering value, a “polished and perfumed” Brunello according to critic Kerin O’Keefe revealing bright, expressive Sangiovese Grosso fruit with radiant acidity on a velvety smooth and long-lived finish, unbeatably value priced for stocking the cellar.

Set in the northern hills of Montalcino near Siena in central Tuscany, Altesino is located on a magnificent, sprawling 80-hectare estate that includes the elegant 15th century Palazzo Altesi and 50 hectares of rolling vineyards, the historic winery known for pioneering the use of small French barriques and bottling single Cru vineyard wines in the region. Reportedly winning in a bid against France’s Chateau Margaux, the estate was purchased in 2002 by the enigmatic Elisabetta Gnudi Angelini, owner of nearby Tenuta Caparzo, an acquisition “that would cement her reputation as one of the most powerful women in Italian wine” according to the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner. Sourced from six parcels of varied soil types, exposures, elevations and microclimates throughout the appellation, the enticing 2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino matured in a mix of used large Slavonian oak barrels for up to 42 months with 6 months longer in bottle, yielding a gracious and silky Brunello with beguiling aromatics that’s “already accessible” according to Decanter’s Michaela Morris and boasting “sufficient depth, concentration and backbone for a solid decade of enjoyment.”

Sourced from “the vintage we’ve all been waiting for” according to Eric Guido of Vinous blending “power and elegance in a way seldom seen,” the sumptuous 95 pt. 2019 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino offers an intriguing combination of classic Sangiovese aromatics and flavors with the freshness and beautifully balanced acidity of the vintage, counted “among the denomination’s best values” according to Decanter’s Michaela Morris and an easy call for savvy collectors seeking to enjoy a gorgeous Brunello more often.

The Altesino 2019 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a rich and savory side that this wine wears very well. There is a beautiful level of dark fruit that folds into the wine's velvety texture. Blackberry and plum envelop the palate, adding elegant full-bodied volume and fine tannins along the way. The wine is aged in traditional Slavonian casks, and production reaches 110,000 bottles annually (which is very ambitious considering this level of quality).

95 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Dec 2023)

Pouring a rich ruby color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino offers an attractive nose of cherry candies, sweet herbs, polished leather, and orange oils. It moves seamlessly to the palate with equally harmonious structure and a great, long finish. Medium to full-bodied, it lasts for ages. This is one of those wines that’s going to have a very wide drinking window and is exceptional already. Drink 2026-2046.

95 points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck (Feb 2024)

A dark ruby color in the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a beguiling blend of dusty earth, crushed rocks, savory herbs and dried roses. This is racy and sleek, with vividly ripe wild berry fruits elevated by orange and sage, all guided by vibrant acidity. Grippy tannins take control through the finish, yet the mouth is left watering for more as a bitter licorice tinge and dark chocolate adds a crunchy sensation.

94 points, Eric Guido, Vinous (Dec 2023)

Though solidly structured, this red displays macerated flavors of cherry, plum, earth and wild herbs, backed by vibrant acidity. A hint of chocolate graces the finish alongside dense tannins. Best from 2026 through 2039. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 9,200 cases made, 3,100 cases imported.

93 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Jun 2024)

A medium-bodied red with pretty plum and berry aromas and flavors. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Very fine and focused. Not the most structured but this is all about finesse and polish. Drinkable but better in two or three years.

93 points, James Suckling (Sep 2023)

Altesino counts approximately 50 hectares throughout Montalcino’s northern and southern stretches. A compilation of diverse sites, the estate Brunello is among the denomination’s best values. If the Montosoli bottling is more solemn in tone, this 2019 is joyful and bright. Heady red currant and cherry mingle with plum and anise. The sumptuously fruited, plush palate is mouth filling yet agile. Sandy textured tannins envelop and caress while citrusy acidity lifts the whole. Already accessible, it has sufficient depth, concentration and backbone for a solid decade of enjoyment.
