Tenuta di Sesta
www.tenutadisesta.it/en/
In 1966, the first bottles of Brunello from the Tenuta di Sesta Estate were produced by Giuseppe Ciacci, father of current owner Giovanni Ciacci. At the time, there were only twelve bottlers, and for this reason, the Tenuta di Sesta Estate is recognized as one of the historical estates in the territory of Montalcino.
Since 1995 the winery has been managed by Giovanni Ciacci, who has since been joined by his children Andrea and Francesca in the areas of business and agronomic management. For the Ciacci family, traditional ageing in big oak barrels and renewed vineyard management based on climatic changes and in favor of the territory constitute the best strategy to obtain wines that best express the territory of Montalcino.

2019 Rosso di Montalcino DOC
Sangiovese
Sangiovese in its natural state. It is considered to be the younger brother of Brunello. It is aged for one year in 20 hl Slavonian oak barrels and unites the imposing structure of Brunello with the freshness and vivacity of a young wine. It should be drunk young, although it does last with ageing. It shows an intense ruby red colour and reveals all its exuberance with notes of red fruit and blackberry on the nose; a broad bouquet, fruity (red fruits), elegant and spicy (liquorice and black pepper). On the palate, it is pleasing and well-orchestrated with good length and without aggressive tannins. Dry, warm, soft with pleasant tannins, balanced, intense and elegant in the mouth.
