Brunello di Montalcino

This 2020 De Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta di Sesta is a refined interpretation of Sangiovese. It shows a light intense cherry red color with subtle brick tones. The nose opens slowly with aromas of dried rose petals, blackberry, and a fine herbaceous note, complemented by hints of light toast and coffee. On the palate, it reveals an elegant wave of ripe red and blue fruits, with a juicy core and fresher expression than the 2019. Tannins are juicy but still youthful, building up gradually and leading to a herbaceous finish with a hint of sour cherry. The wine is not yet fully balanced but has clear aging potential.

• The description claims this Brunello has classic appeal, finesse, and future potential.
