94 Pts Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media |
"Good bright medium red. Knockout nose combines crushed cherry, pungent minerality, flowers, spices and saline soil tones. Sweet and lush but shapely, with sappy acidity framing the mineral and red fruit flavors. Terrific inner-mouth energy here, not to mention perfectly buffered, noble tannins. Really rises on the back end, finishing ethereal, silky and seamless. Reminded me of both Burgundy and Lafite." (08/11) |
92 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous |
"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is beautiful and undertstated in its soft red fruit, tobacco, rosemary, underbrush and crushed flowers. This is a delicate, pretty Brunello that impresses for its overall balance and sense of harmony. There is an element of quirkiness that I find fascinating. Sweet red cherries, flowers and licorice linger on the textured finish. The estate's Brunello spent a full 36 months in oak prior to being bottled unfiltered." (05/11) |

"Sometimes, you discover one of those rare Brunellos that offers a really sweet-smelling bouquet followed by a drying mouthfeel. This is one of those wines. The bouquet is characterized by Christmas spice, cinnamon and mature cherry. The close is elegant and polished. - ML" (04/11) |
Description:
Winemaking:
"Age of Vines: 20 years. Vines are sustainably farmed, the equivalent of lutte raisonnee in France. South-facing vineyards at 350m altitude. Spurred Cordon training. Vinification in stainless steel for all wines. 5,400 vines per hectare. Yield: 8 metric tons per hectare. Thirty-nine months of elevage in 30-hectoliter oak botti. Unfiltered. One year of bottle aging before release." - Importer
Producer:
"Giuseppe Maria and Elisa Sesti"
"While helping out at neighboring estates Giugi observed that simplicity and careful attention were the most important factors in producing great wines, while chemical intervention skewed their delicate balance; so he determined to make entirely natural wines right from the start. He even took a pioneering extra step by applying his prodigious knowledge of the moon's influence on living things to his vineyard management and winemaking. Today the family continues this thoroughly eco-friendly philosophy (although no official certification currently meets their personal standards), and Elisa's primary concern is the materia prima, or raw material, that goes into the wine."
"The Sesti lineup includes a white Sauvignon and a Sangiovese Rosato born directly of necessity, since the family wanted something light and cooling to drink under the hot summer sun; they were forced to increase production when visiting friends and clients tried these wines and started placing orders. But their basic trio - the Brunello, Brunello Riserva "Phenomena," and Rosso di Montalcino - provides traditional expressions of the appellation, robust and powerful yet refreshing, with great aging potential in the Brunellos." - Importer
