Sesti is a Tuscan producer located on the southern slopes of Montalcino. Giuseppe Maria Sesti founded the estate in 1987 and since then has gained an international reputation for his Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and Toscana IGT wines. Giuseppe's background as an astrologist has influenced his farming and winemaking practices which follow the lunar calendar. The idyllic Sesti estate includes the Castle of Argiano, which is featured on the wines' labels.

Critics Ratings
‘Medium red. Expressive aromas of raspberry, strawberry, flowers, spices and smoky minerality. Dense, fleshy and concentrated, conveying a strong impression of salty extract along with excellent energy for the year. Deep and seamless with with a very long finish featuring suave tannins and late notes of cinnamon spice and underbrush.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 93/100 (Jul 2012)
‘Tobacco, dried fruit, cassis, currant, blackberry and old leather notes mark the nose. Finely textured and polished, with a mineral tone, leather, ripe fruit and prune flavors. A pretty, elegant expression of Montalcino and of Sangiovese. Bright acidity, too.’ - Wine Enthusiast, 91/100 (May 2012)
