Dry tannins on the end

A touch of reduction does not completely undermine the attractiveness of the otherwise pretty red berry fruit and soft earth notes

pure and airy nose is naturally spicy with its essence of acacia blossom

A highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh black and blue fruits

Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino other_regions Dry tannins on the endThe Sesta di Sopra 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is very generous and ripe with plush dark fruit, spiced brandy, blackberry liqueur and crme de cassis. There is an actively tannic component that is grippy and drying. It practically sucks the air out of your mouth, and I'm not confident that it will ever fully integrate. For that reason, I feel this wine is not fully balanced. Production is 4,500 bottles.
