Tenuta Di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019

Tenuta Di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 is an exceptional, elegant, and deeply complex Tuscan red wine crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese grown in the southern region of Montalcino. Visually featuring a vibrant ruby-red hue turning toward garnet with age, it opens with an intense, ethereal bouquet of ripe wild strawberries, red cherries, and dried plum, intricately layered with spicy notes of licorice, tobacco leaf, forest floor, and crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, it exhibits full-bodied richness and remarkable structure, balanced by lively natural acidity and velvety, finely integrated tannins that lead to a dry, persistent, and beautifully harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs superbly with roasted red meats, braised venison, wild boar ragù, Florentina steak, truffle pasta dishes, and mature aged pecorino cheeses.

The nose is layered, with herbaceous spice, saline warmth and fruit aromas of cherries and strawberries. Juicy, plump, ripe berries swell on the palate and are joined by flavors of chocolate and orange, creating a warm, textured, comforting sensation.

The Tenuta di Sesta 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Duelecci Ovest shows black fruit ripeness, thick concentration and a soft, gritty texture. To the nose, it delivers perfumed wood or Swedish sauna, cedar, toasted spice and tobacco. I'm not going to suggest a very long drinking window for this 5,000-bottle release. The emphasis here is on fruit concentration instead of age-worthy qualities like finesse and freshness.
