About this activity

A local leading wine producer and the prototype of elegance and tradition, Altesino is considered a historic winery of Montalcino; founded in 1970 by a Milanese entrepreneur, the winery passed into the hands of the passionate and capable Gnudi Angelini family in 2002.

The business is situated in Palazzo Altesi, a 14th century building rising above the vineyards and right near the modern structure where the wine is produced, aged and bottled today.

Some of the positive contributions putting Montalcino on the world map are: the introduction of the "Cru" (Montosoli) concept in 1975, the first experiments with barriques in '79, the production in '77 of the first Grappa from a winery and the first Futures (purchasing wine before its release) for Brunello 1985. For its Cru Montosoli, Altesino has received numerous international recognitions.
