Critics Ratings

‘Gently perfumed. Much less aggressive and tannic than most. Rather 'feminine', charming and relaxed.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jun 2015)

‘This pure expression of Sangiovese opens with aromas of rose petal, leather, game, Mediterranean herb and wild berry. The vibrant, full-bodied palate delivers layers of crushed Morello cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and grilled herb alongside firm, polished tannins and bright acidity. It boasts character and depth. Drink 2017–2030.’ – Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, 95/100 (May 2015)

‘Sesti's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine of real class and personality. In fact, the 2010 is one of the best wines I have tasted from this estate in Sant'Angelo in Colle. Iron, sweet red cherries, wild flowers and earthiness are some of the many notes that inform a juicy, plump Brunello that already drinks well. The 2010 is quite forward and fruit-driven, but there is good underlying complexity as well as enough acidity to ensure a decade-plus of fine drinking. My only quibble is that the aromatics could be a little more focused, but that is a relatively small critique for a wine that delivers this much pleasure.’ – Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 94/100 (Feb 2015)

‘Orange peel, peach, and candied red cherry on the decadent Christmas spice nose. On the palate the oak is extremely well integrated giving plenty of spices and roasted coconut. Well -knit tannins add complexity to a stunning wine.’ – Decanter.com, 92/100
