Tasting Notes

A concentrated and intense Brunello Riserva from the absolutely stellar 2006 vintage. Showing all the hallmark ripeness and depth to be expected from a Tuscan 2006 with a fine backbone of acidity and ripe but grippy tannins. Cherry, plum and sweet spice lap over the palate and provide a concentration of flavours that has prodigious length. A delectable Brunello.

ProducerSesti

Sesti are one of the most delightfully individual producers in Armit’s portfolio. Giuseppe Maria Sesti and his daughter Elisa hold just 13 hectares of vines in a unique micro-climate in southern Montalcino, Sesti produces elegant Sangiovese with a distinct floral note. Self-described as “eclectic by nature”, Giuseppe ran a Baroque Opera festival for thirty years while restoring the the medieval the Castello di Argiano, which features on their labels, and developing the vineyards. Having written no fewer than five books on astronomy, Giuseppe considers the influence of the moon indispensable to viticulture and Sesti makes wine according to biodynamic practices.
