The Sesti estate is located in the heart of Tuscany, in the Castello Argiano, originally built in 1200. The castle is part of a chain of sight and defense castles, each in sight of the others, built along the Orcia river
Giugi Sesti grew up in Venice and much of his life has been dedicated to the study of astronomy, on which subject he is a published author. For thirty years Giugi organised an opera festival in Tuscany, whilst refurbishing the hamlet of the Castello di Argiano and its 102 hectares. Now primarily run by his daughter Elisa, the winery Sesti makes a world renowned Brunello but if you want the Sesti experience without waiting for the Brunello’s to mature then this Rosso is exceptional.
Crafted using organic and biodynamic wine making principles, this 100% Sangiovese is a delicious expression of Rosso di Montalcino. In the glass it opens with aromas of rosemary, red summer berries and dark chocolate that lead into palate of gorgeous bright red fruit, touches of oak and tobacco, with savoury notes of mushroom.
