Haven will host an Altesino Dinner, welcoming guests for an evening centered on the elegance and structure of Montalcino. Executive Chef Chad Johnson and Chef de Cuisine Lynnessa Hughes will present a paired menu highlighting the depth and nuance of this historic Tuscan estate.

Special guest Alessandra Angelini, CEO of Altesino, will guide guests through her estate’s portfolio, offering insight into vineyard hierarchy, vintage character, and the estate’s influence within Brunello di Montalcino. The tasting opens with Rosso di Montalcino 2024 as a vibrant introduction to the house style. From there, the wines build in breadth and intensity with Brunello di Montalcino 2021, the layered Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019, and the highly regarded Montosoli 2021—sourced from one of Montalcino’s most distinguished crus—before concluding with Toscana Rosso 2024. 

The evening reflects precision, site expression, and the enduring character of Sangiovese in its most noble form.
