Tenuta di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 is a classic expression of one of Tuscany's most prestigious appellations, produced by the historic Tenuta di Sesta, a family-owned estate with winemaking traditions dating back to 1850. Crafted exclusively from 100% Sangiovese Grosso, the wine is sourced from estate vineyards located on the southern slopes of Montalcino between 280 and 350 metres above sea level. The vineyards benefit from galestro, clay, and limestone-rich soils, along with an ideal south-facing exposure, producing Brunello with remarkable elegance, structure, and ageing potential.
The highly regarded 2020 vintage enjoyed a balanced growing season with warm days and cool nights, allowing the grapes to achieve excellent phenolic ripeness while preserving freshness and aromatic complexity. The grapes were hand-harvested before gentle pressing and traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with approximately 25 days of maceration. The wine was then matured for 30 months in 30–35 hectolitre Slavonian oak casks, followed by additional bottle ageing before release. The result is a refined Brunello that combines vibrant fruit, polished tannins, savoury complexity, and the hallmark elegance of the Tenuta di Sesta style.
