    As always, the team at Sesti produce a deliciously ripe and rounded style that offers earlier approachability and fabulous drinking over the mid term. The 2020 offers up warm raspberries, cranberry, clove and wild herbs which flow across the palate leading to a generous succulent finish. A fantastic Brunello that will win many friends.

  • Jancis Robinson, October 2024, Score: 17++

    Just mid ruby. Leafy cherry fruit that is still a little closed. Concentrated cherry fruit that is a little rich, but the balance with the fresh acidity and the coating tannins is near perfection. This needs time. (WS)

  • Audrey Frick, January 2025, Score: 94

    Pouring a jeweled deep red color, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is lifted and fresh in the glass with bright Mediterranean herbs, spiced cranberries, brushy earth, incense, and fresh flowers. The palate offers lovely purity and comes to life with wonderful, vibrant, ripe red fruit, ripe tannins, refreshing acidity, and a gently warming finish with mouthwatering salinity and citrus notes of spiced orange peel on the back palate. A gorgeous Brunello, it's emblematic of this vintage in that it's enjoyable now while offering the potential to improve over the coming 12-15 years.

    Mediterranean scrub, juniper, new leather and ripe black-skinned fruit aromas lead the way on the 2020 Brunello from Sesti along with whiffs of forest floor. Full-bodied and boasting a weightless concentration, the enveloping palate delivers succulent black plum, spiced orange zest, mocha and licorice framed in tightly woven, close-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2029–2035.

  • Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, November 2024, Score: 93

    The Sesti 2020 Brunello di Montalcino, from the Castello di Argiano property on the southern side of the appellation, shows dried cherry aromas with baked plum and earthy sensations. This is a medium-bodied Brunello with a moderate finish. The acidity is present but not sharp, and the wine offers soft fruit tones throughout. I suggest a near or medium-term drinking window. This is a 15,000-bottle release.

Castello di Argiano Sesti, owned by father and daughter team Giuseppe and Elisa, is located in Montalcino and their vineyards are grown on the southern slopes of Montalcino (home of some of the greatest Brunello). Giuseppe (‘Giugi’) Sesti, studied fresco painting for 8 years before turning to ancient astronomy and lunisolar calendars. In 1975, he moved to Montalcino to find a quieter life and to explore his other interests including opera. He planted his own vines in 1991 after years of helping neighbouring winemakers with their harvests and wines. Today, he is considered as one of the leading winemakers of the region – a tremendous feat in such a short span of time. Giuseppe and Elisa follow organic and biodynamic approaches both in the vineyards and in the cellar. Fleshy and immediately appealing, his wines might be mistaken for top Right Bank Bordeaux – which is probably not such a bad thing.Read less

Region

Montalcino

Located southwest of Chianti, Montalcino came into its own in the late 1880s when local producer,Biondi-Santi, discovered a Sangiovese clone in his vineyard that was darker in colour than the rest. Its colour, however, was not its only attribute. It produced a wine with notable body, structure and length. He named it ‘brunello' meaning little dark one. This grape's genetic properties along with Montalcino's relatively temperate climate combine to create a wine stylistically different to that of more northerly Chianti. They are usually released approximately 5 years after the vintage following 2 to 4 years ageing in wood. The denomination of Riserva indicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvéeand requires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.Today, Montalcino has become one of the most sought after appellations in the Tuscan region.
