2017 Sesti Brunello di Montalcino 3L

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "Camphor, forest floor and tobacco aromas come to the forefront. It's full-bodied, with savory flavors including dried cherry, blood orange and licorice set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2029."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The Sesti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a fine garnet color with medium richness. In terms of aromas, you get dried cherry, blackcurrant, spice, tar and camphor ash. The aromas are presented with extra intentional emphasis in this hot vintage that saw an accumulation of sugar and tannins in the berries. Sangiovese kicks in with its naturally high acidity that serves to counter and break up some of that power. 12,800 bottles were produced."
