Plums, strawberries, wild herbs and hints of wet stone form an earthy yet pretty bouquet as the Brunello di Montalcino blossoms in the glass. This is silky and round, offering a savory mix of red berries and spices, all carried by zesty acidity that creates a pleasantly juicy and fresh impression. While tannic, it’s also potent and long, lingering on hints of mulberry and purple-tinged inner florals. I don’t expect this to be the longest-lived Brunello of Tenuta di Sesta, but it will certainly provide a lot of pleasure over the medium term.
