There’s already complexity here in the aromas of iron and dark cherry fruit and sweet spice, allied to something a touch rooty. It’s initially a richly fruited thing in the mouth, then direct and compact with its intense, controlled throughput. The back end is swathed in crumbly-rich tannin. The dark cherry fruit is a touch closed today, but this has a finish that is out of sight. What a superb Sesti.  

"The Sesti family burned bales of hay for two nights during the 2021 April cold snap, managing to keep frost damage to under 15%. Despite slightly less quantity, this Brunello speaks distinctly of its sun-kissed landscape. An exotic mix of potpourri florals, baked herbs, sundried tomato and coffee swells from the glass. Neither austere nor overly forward, it flirts with a bloody, irony undertow. Sumptuous red berries are swaddled in fine, powdery tannins – these are sensual in delivery, wielding power without force. Culminates with a tamarind tang."  Michaela Morris 95 Points Decanter

“The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a cascade of sweet violet and lavender tones before settling on dried roses and cherries. It is elegant and nearly weighty in feel, with tantalizing acidity to balance and cool-toned red berry fruits swirling throughout. The 2021 turns inward on itself through the finish, long and pleasantly tart, as fine-grained tannin frames the experience beautifully.” Eric Guido 94 Points Vinous

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
