Sesti 2019 Brunello di Montalcino

Product Details

(96 D) Planted in 1986 on Montalcino's southern slopes, Sesti's 13 hectares are freshened by an eastward tilt, constant breezes and surrounding woodlands. Ripeness allies with brightness, particularly in this 2019, which recalls the joyfulness of the estate's IGT and Rosso di Montalcino counterparts but with the gravitas of Brunello. There's a sweetness of fruit and fragrance as sandalwood, arbutus shrub and vanilla bean suffuse lush red cherry, and it flows with grace and ease. Yet as becoming as this seems to be now, it is tightly wound underneath that gracious core - the intricate structure is fashioned for endurance.  100% Sangiovese from 20+ year old vines
