2007 | Sesti | Brunello di Montalcino

This well-balanced wine reveals flavours of cherry and fig within its medium to full body. The texture is round, leading to a long finish, especially after being decanted. The softening tannins indicate the wine is ready to be enjoyed, while it also possesses ageing potential.

Producer Information

Sesti is a Tuscan wine producer located on the southern slopes of Montalcino. Giuseppe Maria Sesti founded the estate in 1987 and since then has gained an international reputation for his Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and Toscana IGT wines from varieties including Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Giuseppe's background as an astrologist has influenced his farming and winemaking practices which follow the lunar calendar. The idyllic Sesti estate includes the Castle of Argiano, which is featured on the wines' labels, and spans 102 hectares (254 acres), only nine hectares (22 acres) of which are planted to grapevines. The first vines were planted in 1991 near the castle on south-facing slopes. The estate makes three traditional 100-percent Sangiovese wines – a Rosso di Montalcino, a standard Brunello di Montalcino and the Brunello Riserva Phenomena. These are aged in oak barrels for differing lengths of time, and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sesti produces additional 100 percent Sangiovese wines carrying the Toscana IGT designation – Grangiovese, Monteleccio, and Rosato – as well as a Sauvignon Blanc, a Bordeaux-style blend called Terra di Siena, and a Grappa di Brunello. The estate produces around 5000 cases annually. Since 1999, Sesti has been operated with the help of Giuseppe's daughter Elisa.
