THE ESTATE ALTESINO
The austere walls of Palazzo Altesi, at the center of the estate, were built in the mid-15th century by the noble Tuscan Tricerchi family. Subsequently, in the 1970s, Milanese entrepreneurs purchased and renovated Palazzo Altesi.
Altesino thus introduced modern entrepreneurship into a post-sharecropping economic fabric, and from this encounter a new way of making and conceiving wine was born, grew and established itself. The Altesino winery is a pioneer of the various important innovations that have affected the production of Sangiovese di Montalcino, establishing itself as a prominent reality and a point of reference for the entire region.
Società Agricola Altesino is located in Montalcino, in the heart of southern Tuscany.
The vineyards extend over 44 hectares, divided into the Altesino, Macina, Castelnuovo dell’Abate, Pianezzine, and Montosoli crus. In addition to Sangiovese di Montalcino, which makes up the majority of the plantings, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Trebbiano, Malvasia, Vermentino, Chardonnay, and Viognier are also produced.
Thanks to the property’s enthusiastic and rational development program, Altesino today is equipped with modern and functional facilities for vinification, aging and bottling operations.
