Sesti (Castello di Argiano) Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

$115

Giuseppe Sesti was already an accomplished astronomy author and avid opera lover before finally deciding to purchase his own vineyards around the hamlet of Argiano in the early 1990's. His impetus for having the best raw material prompted him to make natural wine from the get-go, though he has always shunned any official certification. The vines at Sesti have now entered a perfect period of maturity and Giuseppe's vision has been further fine-tuned by his talented daughter, Elisa, who has been working alongside him since 1999.andnbsp; The Brunello is fermented in stainless steel and ages in Botti for 39 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sesti's Brunello has been the cornerstone of our Montalcino offerings over the past few years, and we are delighted to have the vaunted 2016 vintage available.

Aging was more advanced than I thought it would be. Browning and stronger balsamic notes.
