Rich fruit, like dried tangerines, cherries and figs on the nose, with mushrooms and chocolate, too. Full-bodied, dense and ripe with firm and broad tannins. Bold and flavorful. Unfiltered. Better from 2024.

The Sesti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino reveals a fine garnet color with medium richness. In terms of aromas, you get dried cherry, blackcurrant, spice, tar and camphor ash. The aromas are presented with extra intentional emphasis in this hot vintage that saw an accumulation of sugar and tannins in the berries. Sangiovese kicks in with its naturally high acidity that serves to counter and break up some of that power.

Camphor, forest floor and tobacco aromas come to the forefront. It's full-bodied, with savory flavors including dried cherry, blood orange and licorice set against tightly knit, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2029.
