2018 Chianti Classico
Italy | Tuscany
A delicious Chianti Classico for now or later, with extraordinary potential at table.

2015 Alta Valle Della Greve “80”
Italy | Tuscany
Concentrated and intense yet elegant and refined, the “80” is made for the dinner table and built to last.

2017 Chianti Classico
Italy | Tuscany
Broad-shouldered, with hearty tannin and acidity and a dark, earthy quality to its fruit, it is a lumberjack wine that can cut through anything a Tuscan table can throw its way—wild game and aged cheeses are some of our favorites.

2022 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Italy | Tuscany
Bright, intense green with hints of fennel and parsley, a Tuscan treasure

2017 Brunello di Montalcino
Italy | Tuscany
The regal perfume is both sweet and savory, with ripe berry fruit accented by balmy herbs and earthy wafts of incense.

2016 Brunello di Montalcino
Italy | Tuscany
A remarkable bottle of Sangiovese: complex, succulent, and slightly savory, with notes of red fruit, spices, and earth, and a long finish.

2020 Rosso di Montalcino
Italy | Tuscany
Few wines are better suited to tomato-based dishes, wild mushrooms, grilled vegetables, or a hearty ragù over fresh egg noodles

2012 Brunello Riserva “Phenomena” MAGNUM
Italy | Tuscany
The Riserva is rich and savory, with intense flavors; bright, tightly wound mid-palate; vigorously youthful. It will continue to improve with more time in bottle.

2022 Toscana Rosato
Italy | Tuscany
Boasting a surprising melon color and aromas of anise and rose, Sesti’s rosato is refreshing and bold enough to stand up to winter fare.

About The Region
Tuscany
Perhaps no region is tied to Italy’s reputation as a producer of fine wine as much as Tuscany. Since Etruscan times, viticulture has played a prominent role in this idyllic land of rolling hills, and the Tuscan winemaking tradition remains as strong as ever today. With a favorable Mediterranean climate, an undulating topography offering countless altitudes and expositions, and a wealth of poor, well-draining soils, conditions are ideal for crafting high-quality wines. Add to that the rich gastronomical tradition—Tuscany is home to some of the country’s finest game, pastas, salumi, and cheeses—and you have the blueprint for a world-class wine region.
This is Sangiovese territory; in fact, it is arguably the only place in the world where Sangiovese reaches a truly regal expression. In spite of a rocky history with fluctuations in quality, traditionally produced Chianti has reclaimed its status as one of the country’s most reliable, food-friendly reds, while the rapid rise of Brunello di Montalcino shows the grape’s potential for grandiose, opulent reds allying power and finesse. Traditionally-minded growers have stuck to using only indigenous grape varieties and employing techniques like aging in massive wooden casks known as botti, creating wines of terroir that shine at the Tuscan table.
Tuscan wines have had a place in our portfolio since Kermit’s first visit in 1977. While the names of the estates have changed, the spirit of those first unfiltered Chiantis he imported live on through our current selections.

Kermit once said...
For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
