Tenuta di Sesta is one of Montalcino's oldest family estates, on the warm southern slopes between Sant'Angelo in Colle and Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Their Brunello is all tradition and elegance, and the 2019 vintage earned it a trio of big scores.

Tasting Notes

"Red and purple fruit with elderberry and soft Morello cherry, ripe and concentrated but lifted by Sangiovese's bright acidity and a chalky, mineral edge. Medium-rich in texture, with tannins that are just starting to relax; a few more years in the cellar will reward you." — Harvest Wine Shop

The winemaker

…Wine starts in the vineyard…

New “modern” agronomic management with respect to the past adapting to climactic changes over time accompanied by traditional ageing in Slavonian oak barrels to preserve original features.

In the vineyard: our focus is on growing grapes that, according to the physical and chemical characteristics of each vineyard, achieve good freshness through meticulous management of the leaf canopy around the grapes as well as concentration through cluster thinning of excess bunches.

In the cellar: it is our belief that Sangiovese in the territory of Montalcino has a flavour to preserve: the use of Slavonian oak barrels, average size 30hl, is able to lend the wine a quality of aromas that do not mask the unique taste of Sangiovese Grosso cultivated in our area.
