Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino Vintage:2020 fresh and equally floral-suffused nose

fresh and equally floral-suffused nose offers up a mix of red and dark currant tinged with crushed fennel

prosciutto

Pierre Larmandier invariably excels in cool

This is aromatically similar to the straight Volnay though while I like the slightly better complexity the nose isn’t quite as fresh

Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino Vintage:2020 fresh and equally floral-suffused noseThe Sesta di Sopra 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is very generous and ripe with plush dark fruit, spiced brandy, blackberry liqueur and crme de cassis. There is an actively tannic component that is grippy and drying. It practically sucks the air out of your mouth, and I'm not confident that it will ever fully integrate. For that reason, I feel this wine is not fully balanced. Production is 4,500 bottles.
