The more <I>new world</I> of the two non-reserve Brunello's from Poggio Antico as it is aged in French tonneaux, the Altero is bright and cheery on the nose, with cherries and black raspberry notes lingering over smoky and spicy hints of oak. Fruit forward on the palate, with lots of silky sweet spices, black cherries and blueberry pie. Long and lush, with a richness that is uncommon in young Brunello. September 27, 2006
