Concentrated, youthful, and soulful, this Sangiovese is enchanting now, but it has a long life full of gorgeous evolution ahead.

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.

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.

This 2017 is compact and absolutely brimming with energy, culminating in a grippy, stony tannin.

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.

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.

The perfume of rose petals and vivid red berry fruit, along with the delicate, fine-grained tannin, make this a truly special Rosso.

Always a standout, it is lithe, racy, and elegant, while not lacking the stony backbone for which great Greve is known.

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.

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.
