Scores

"Sesti's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of real class and personality. In fact, the 2010 is one of the best wines I have tasted from this estate in Sant'Angelo in Colle. Iron, sweet red cherries, wild flowers and earthiness are some of the many notes that inform a juicy, plump Brunello that already drinks well. The 2010 is quite forward and fruit-driven, but there is good underlying complexity as well as enough acidity to ensure a decade-plus of fine drinking. My only quibble is that the aromatics could be a little more focused, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine that delivers this much pleasure."
94 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

"Glowing garnet. Clear redcurrant aromas with great ripe-fruit palate entry and a fine definition on the mid palate. Some smokiness on exit. Some richness but no heaviness. Long and precise. Very well done. Admirable purity."
17.5/20 points, Jancis Robinson 

“Orange peel, peach, and candied red cherry on the decadent Christmas spice nose. On the palate, the oak is extremely well integrated giving plenty of spices and roasted coconut. Well-knit tannins add complexity to a stunning wine.”
92 points, Decanter Panel Tasting, Andrea Briccarello, Ian D’Agata, Michael Garner 


Tasting Notes

One of our consistently favourite Brunello and unsurprisingly they've achieved great things in 2010. A smoky, intense nose leads on to an elegant yet textured palate. This is light on its feet considering the warmth some Brunello 2010s exhibit, a testament to the special terroir and altitude of Castello di Argiano. Chewy red fruit and a leathery savouriness underpin this still tight but well balanced and poised Brunello. Delicious but will definitely benefit from a few years in the cellar.

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.
