The bouquet opens to sophisticated aromas of dried fruit, spice, smoke, tar and licorice. This is an austere and elegant wine that should be served with the highest quality red meat. In the mouth, it delivers complexity and elegance more than brawn or power.

Tenuta di Sesta consistently produces top-notch Brunello with an eye on tradition and territory. Textbook aromas of cherry, leather, earth and blue flowers emerge from the nose. The mouthfeel is silky, persistent and fresh.

Sesta is one of the wines coming out of Montalcino that manages to combine the old-world power and tannin of Brunello with top-quality fruit flavors. It is firm and concentrated, showing dry tannins that go right through the palate. At the same time, there is delicious ripe, violet-flavored fruit and balancing acidity. Drink after 10 years.

This pretty Brunello peels back layer after layer to reveal tones of dried cherry, toasted almond, sweet berry, white pepper and cola. It delivers a bright, tart taste in the mouth with a blast of white cherry fruit at the end.

The evident presence of toasted oak tilts this ruby-colored Brunello slightly off balance. You’ll recognize aromas of espresso, Indian spice, leather, tobacco and vanilla: There’s not much in the way of fruit and the wine probably won’t age for long. Drink now.

Almond paste, cinnamon, bright cherry, crisp pomegranate, vanilla and cedar waft off a very fruit-driven Brunello. There’s a tart, almost sour, quality here; and one of our panel members was put off by a medicinal edge. Imported by Old Bridge Cellars.

Tenuta di Sesta’s hearty Brunello exhibits sophisticated oak usage that translates into toast, mesquite, antique furniture wax, resin and spice. That said, you’d be surprised how fresh and lively the wine feels in the mouth. Beyond that brooding interior is a fruity Brunello with smooth tannins.
