Sesti 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Tobacco, dried fruit, cassis, currant, blackberry and old leather notes mark the nose. Finely textured and polished, with a mineral tone, leather, ripe fruit and prune flavors. A pretty, elegant expression of Montalcino and of Sangiovese. Bright acidity, too.

Sesti 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
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.

Sesti 2006 Phenomena Riserva Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Online Exclusive
There’s a ripe, cooked quality with black fruit, toasted nut, cured meat and wild mushroom to this expression. The fruit tones are candied and mature, and the wine offers a ean and compact mouthfeel with a two-fold blast of acidity and tannin.

Sesti 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
Although this Brunello is from the newly released 2005 vintage, it has aromas and textures that remind you of a wine that is older still. There are sophisticated undertones here of smoke and licorice that peep up from behind candied fruit and black currants. There are also nicely integrated tones of exotic spice and mesquite wood at the back.

Sesti 2000 Phenomena Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $45
Blueberry, fennel seed, forest berry, rhubarb with a slightly lactic, sour note. Full and creamy in the mouth and tangy but not extremely tannic or long. Because this wine does not overwhelm your taste buds, it has great food pairing potential. Imported by Martin Scott Wines.

Sesti 2004 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $55
We’ve noticed traces of volatility in past Sesti Brunellos, but the 2004 vintage smells polished and pristine. Aromas of black fruit, spice and cured meat are intact, generous and are delivered with uplifting force and buoyancy. This helps contribute to the general intensity of the wine and the supple nature of its mouthfeel.
