Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino
This Brunello di Montalcino is produced from 100% Sangiovese, selected from Tenuta di Sesta’s finest vineyards. It matures for 36 months in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by at least six months of bottle ageing.
The 2021 vintage opens with aromas of ripe cherries, dark woodland fruit, dried herbs and juniper, complemented by hints of sweet spice, liquorice and Mediterranean scrub. The palate is intense and energetic, combining succulent fruit with fresh acidity and fine, velvety tannins. Its long, supple finish brings together spice, freshness and a distinctly savoury character.
An elegant Brunello with plenty of personality. It can already be enjoyed after sufficient aeration but also has excellent potential for further development in the cellar. A wonderful companion to roasts, red meat, game, rich pasta dishes and mature cheeses.

Reviews
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly enticing, with a savory herbal thrust giving way to nuances of crushed ashen stone and dried black cherries. It sweeps across the palate, silken yet energetic, with crisp wild berry fruits complicated by an inner air of rosy florals. Edgy tannins saturate, adding tension and grip as the 2021 leaves a staining of primary concentration and a pleasantly chewy sensation.
