SESTI Rosso di Montalcino 'Castello di Argiano' - Montalcino Tuscany 2023 MAGNUM

Description

Founder Giuseppe describes himself as 'eclectic by nature', and ran a Baroque Opera festival for thirty years while restoring the castle that features on their labels, and developing the vineyards. He has devoted himself to the study of astronomy, a subject on which he has published no fewer than five books, and Sesti considers the influence of the moon indispensable to viticulture. The 13 hectares of vineyards are located in a unique micro-climate in the southern part of Montalcino, surrounded by forests, and on soils of layered oceanic sediment, producing elegant Sangiovese with a distinct floral note.

TASTING: Juicy ripe strawberry, raspberry, pink grapefruit and red plum. Subtle herbs accompany the fruit and deliciously ripe tannins making this wine an approachable and great value Rosso, exhibiting the classic Sesti charm. 14%abv.
