Sesta di Sopra 2001 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)

Applause to Brunello tipicity in the form of balsam notes (menthol cough drop), forest berry, black licorice, tar and background vanilla to smooth over the sharp points. The tannins are still thorny but the finish is long and limber. Imported by Premier Wine Co.

Sesta di Sopra 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Here’s a dense, dark Brunello with aromas of moist soil, forest floor, exotic spice and tones of black fruit, prune, plum and currant. These notes are well integrated and the mouthfeel is austere, solid and dense. Pair this wine with grilled red meat or pasta with meat sauce.

Sesta di Sopra 2008 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $60
Dark cherry, leather, tobacco and spicy aromas of cured meat open the bouquet of this deeply layered Brunello. There’s fruit intensity as well in the form of cassis, dried raspberry or cranberry. The natural freshness and structure here would pair well with thick home-made pasta and sauce.

Sesta di Sopra 2003 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
This modern Brunello is intensely redolent of roasted nuts, vanilla and espresso bean and although these oak-driven notes are very pretty, there’s not much fresh fruit in the background. The wine boasts thick extraction and density but probably won’t age more than three or four more years.
