My husband and I had a visit to the Altesino Vineyard in September. It was nice to have our own private tasting on a Sunday afternoon of their great selection of wines. They have an excellent Brunello and many other wonderful varietals. Tasting is performed right on the estate. Our host was very helpful and knowledgeable about the wine and... More

Upon arriving at the semi-secluded Altesino Winery in the Brunello di Montalcino region in Tuscany, my buddy and I were greeted in the parking lot by our tour guide Melissa and two sweet-as-can-be german shepherd dogs who were eager to grab as much attention from us as possible. We had finished lunch in Brunello earlier and were about 45 minutes... More

I recently went on a tour here with my friend. We were greeted warmly by the German Shepherd puppy "Siena". We had a great tour, the hostess was very knowledgeable, and the wine was fantastic. Try the Grappa Riserva and don’t forget to take a few bottles of the Brunello home with you. More

This was part of our Taste of Tuscany tour and the wine and oil were amazing, along with an expert tour given by Sabine. We purchased much wine and olive oil as it tasted amazing! More

My wife and I were part of a tour group visiting this winery and we were enchanted. We have been on many winery tours but this place is absolutely stunning. Anna Sophia led the group and we had a very detailed tour. This winery is not a giant "factory" but is a family business. A pleasant unhurried tasting ended our... More

This is a smaller vineyard, however the staff, especially our winery tour guide Sabrine were world class. This was my first exposure to the wines. We were very impressed with the quality and tasting experience. This visit for me gave a great sense of the culture and commitment to excellence of the Tuscans. They take a great deal of pride...

As with most of the wineries, this is in a lovely setting. Four Americans in the tour which was unhurried and the guide spoke very good English. It was very informative about the Brunello wines. We tasted about 4-5 wines which were very good. They do not sell directly to the public so we were not pressured to buy. I... More

This was our first winery visit in the Brunello region and it was a little disappointing as an experience as a whole. Would have appreciated a tour of the vineyard, more explanation, a tour guide who had more experience at the actually winery and with the production. More
