A Brunello di Montalcino that speaks of resilience and meticulous attention to detail.

Why do we love it?

The 2014 vintage in Montalcino was far from easy. The weather tested the patience of winegrowers, with rain and cool summers. Yet, through this challenge, the people of Altesino managed to bottle a Brunello di Montalcino Magnum that speaks of resilience and meticulous attention to detail. The large format, the Magnum, is not only impressive at the table but also serves more people and evolves more slowly and harmoniously over time.

The story of Altesino is intertwined with the very journey of Brunello itself. It was among the first wineries to believe in the potential of Sangiovese (their first Brunello was released in 1972) and helped make Brunello known worldwide. Brunello di Montalcino 2014 Altesino ages for two years in oak barrels and then for four months in the bottle. The result is generous yet elegant, with an aging potential that exceeds 20 years.

PAIR IT

Pair it with pappardelle with ragù, lamb giouvetsi with kefalograviera, or aged cheeses.

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
