Tasting Notes:

• Variety: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino
• Appearance: Ruby red color.

• Taste: The taste is medium bodied with silky tannins, traditional with the typical strong characteristics of Montalcino wines, yet very drinkable and approachable on the palate, offering a fresh and balanced flavor.
• Region: Toscana IGT, Italy. The Tenuta di Sesta estate is located in Montalcino, with vineyards enjoying a southern exposure at altitudes of 280-320 meters above sea level. The Toscana IGT designation provides producers with expressive freedom, allowing for wines that highlight the individuality of the estate and the unique Montalcino terroir. The climate is moderated by the nearby Monte Amiata, ensuring a gentle and even microclimate.
• Pairing: Suitable for every occasion. Excellent with a wide selection of foods including cold cuts, salads, bruschetta, hand-made pasta, red meats, sheep’s cheeses, white meats, or vegetables. It also pairs wonderfully with red sauces, roast game hen, and strong cheeses.

Overall impression:

This wine offers a pleasant and harmonious profile with good aromatic persistence and non-aggressive tannins, making it a truly versatile and enjoyable expression of Tuscan winemaking. Its freshness and fragrance make it an ideal choice for daily consumption.

Extra notes:

• Tenuta di Sesta is a historic estate with roots tracing back to 714 AD, and the Ciacci family, who acquired it in 1850, were among the original twelve producers of Brunello di Montalcino in 1966.
• The wine undergoes 6 months of refinement in stainless steel tanks, preserving its vibrant fruit and fresh character. The IGT category itself was notably influenced by the rise of “Super Tuscan” wines, allowing winemakers greater stylistic freedom.
