Sesti (Castello Di Argiano) - Brunello Di Montalcino 2019 (750ml)

"Edmond Halley became famous for his astronomical research, but he was equally interested in what was happening inside our planet, and proposed that our earth was hollow and filled with gases and light, like the Aurora Borealis. Sesti tastes just like this—something luminous and powerful, trapped deep inside the earth."

"Planted in 1986 on Montalcino’s southern slopes, Sesti’s 13 hectares are freshened by an eastward tilt, constant breezes and surrounding woodlands. Ripeness allies with brightness, particularly in this 2019, which recalls the joyfulness of the estate’s IGT and Rosso di Montalcino counterparts but with the gravitas of Brunello. There's a sweetness of fruit and fragrance as sandalwood, arbutus shrub and vanilla bean suffuse lush red cherry, and it flows with grace and ease. Yet as becoming as this seems to be now, it is tightly wound underneath that gracious core – the intricate structure is fashioned for endurance."

"Lustrous ruby. A simply stunning, complex nose of taut cherry layered with garden herbs. Lots of juice that is fantastically balanced by gorgeous, fine-grained tannins. Complete. (WS)"
