"Dark Ruby red color. The wine has an aromatic nose, with black berry and cherry aromas and flavors. On the palate it is medium bodied with good tannins and an overall Chianti-like fruit finish. Excellent with pasta and cheeses, but it is often consumed by itself."

"Altesino’s 2010 Rosso di Altesino bursts from the glass with sweet red berries, flowers, mint and licorice. In 2010 the Rosso has a little more richness than usual, which is quite welcome in this entry-level offering. The 2010 is hugely delicious now, and should be enjoyed over the next few years while the fruit retains its youthful exuberance."
