A shade deeper in color, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is beautifully pure and expressive on the nose, with cherry cordial and a savory mineral edge that hints at the vintage’s character. The palate is medium-bodied and seamless, with refined tannins, bright acidity, and a weightless, tension-filled feel that makes it hard to put down. Stylistically, this was a turning point for the estate as botti returned to the cellars, and the wine shows the shift in a more graceful, classic direction. It should offer terrific longevity.

(6x75cl) 2016```htmlSesti Brunello di Montalcino Phenomena 2016 epitomises the exquisite craftsmanship of the esteemed Sesti family, renowned for their commitment to excellence and sustainable viticulture. Nestled in the heart of Montalcino’s prestigious terroir, this Brunello is meticulously crafted from 100% Sangiovese grapes, nurtured in single-vineyard selections that highlight the unique character of each plot. Hand-harvested with utmost care, the grapes undergo traditional vinification processes, including a precise maceration period to extract optimal flavours and tannins. The wine is then aged for 36 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle vanilla and spice notes, followed by an additional 24 months of bottle ageing to achieve perfect harmony. The 2016 vintage displays a deep garnet hue, with a complex nose of ripe red cherries, leather, tobacco, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it offers a robust yet elegant structure, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish. Sesti Brunello di Montalcino Phenomena 2016 is a testament to the producer’s dedication to quality and the rich tradition of Brunello craftsmanship.
