As sublime as their Brunello is, the Sestis’ craving for a wine to be drunk cool during the warm months led them to create this rosato. It’s gentle and mouth-filling, perked up by a touch of salinity that recalls the oceanic vineyard soils—quite a sophisticated rosé that is nonetheless gay and carefree.

Elisa Sesti likes to say that Sangiovese is a prima donna variety that requires pampering and the right conditions to thrive—and pamper it, she does! Her Rosso di Montalcino, with its seductive and mood-enhancing perfume, is like a delicious elixir of black cherry, bitter herbs, and fragrant violet.

This site yields a lively, focused Rosso, featuring a mineral backbone that provides crystalline structure to the juicy, savory red fruit that cascades over the palate.

By planting Pinot Nero in limestone at high elevation, he has found an unlikely home for the grape, yielding a singular rosso that is anything but international in style.

While Sangiovese dominates the Sesti family’s—and the region’s—vineyards, Sauvignon has also found a surprisingly welcoming home here, yielding a crisp, flowery white that’s a beautiful match for locally caught seafood or a bright summer salad.

With a beautifully integrated tannin and outstanding finesse, this “baby Brunello” punches way above its weight.

All the depth, concentration, and intensity imaginable are densely packed into a tight, firm, chewy package.

Ample, deep, and succulent, this enthralling Brunello is already highly rewarding.

If you want to taste the full, vibrant, and unleashed magic of young Sangiovese, don’t miss the Monteleccio. It combines the class of biodynamically farmed, Brunello-quality grapes with the thrill of early and festive drinkability.

Basking in Tuscan sunshine and regularly caressed by cooling breezes from the coast, these vines produce a generous Brunello that radiates Mediterranean warmth. With a regal perfume that is both sweet and savory, a ripe berry fruit accented by balmy herbs and earthy wafts of incense, this enthralling Brunello is already approachable, but will reward you if you set aside a few bottles to open over the next ten years.
