Tenuta Di Sesta Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG

Owned and run by the Ciacci family, Tenuta di Sesta is recognized as one of the historical estates in Montalcino. The Ciacci’s rely on traditional ageing in big oak barrels and renewed vineyard management based on climatic changes and in favor of the territory to obtain wines that best express the territory of Montalcino. The Brunellos in particular are marked by exotic perfumes and rich complexities.

Pure Sangiovese from a selection of the best grapes of our vineyards, uniting traditional and modern technology. Brunello has always been a great wine, certainly important and a pleasure to drink: when it is young, it is rich in scents of fruit and flowers; when it has aged, it acquires complex ethereal characteristics and offers a broad bouquet with an aroma of autumn leaves.
