Product Notes

Monteleccio Sesti wine is a remarkably distinct creation, enveloped in Tuscany's picturesque landscape. This sumptuous blend captivates with its robust garnet hue, exuding aromas of ripe red fruits, delicately infused with notes of ripe plum and subtle spices. Grown organically, this Sangiovese varietal delights the palate with a velvety texture, interlaced with a balanced, lingering finish. It is a study in understated complexity, offering nuances of earthiness and smooth tannins. Monteleccio Sesti is a splendid homage to Tuscan tradition, ideal with rustic Italian fare, enhancing the beauty of any dining experience. This wine is a true Tuscan treasure.

Tasting Notes

On the nose this is warm and a little earthy - ripe cherry and an undertone of mushrooms. The palate is slightly alcoholic, but lean and acidic. Flavours are sour cherry, fennel, and mineral.

About the Winery

Sesti

Set in the majestic Tuscan hills, Sesti winery epitomises the finest Italian winemaking tradition and offers an unparalleled experience for wine connoisseurs. This family-owned vineyard is run with exceptional love and care by the Sesti family, who have nurtured it for more than three generations,

The winery spans across nearly 30 hectares of the lush Tuscan countryside, where the vineyards unfurl like a verdant carpet. They exclusively grow Sangiovese and Brunello grapes, both venerated for their exceptional qualities in winemaking. Touches of other local grape varieties are also introduced to create unique blends that are both sophisticated and delightfully palatable.

Sesti winery's dedication to organic methods of cultivation is truly remarkable. Not only does this ensure the health of the vineyards, but also the production of the finest quality wines. It is this unwavering commitment to sustainable practices that elevates Sesti's wines to a league of their own.

During the harvest season, the grapes are handpicked and the wine-making process takes place in the traditional Tuscan style. This results in wines that capture the essence of the region and reflect the unique characteristics of the soil and climate, The winery's signature product is its Brunello di Montalcino, a robust red wine aged in large oak barrels to cultivate a distinctive aroma and flavour.

One aspect that distinguishes Sesti from other wineries is the observatory located within its premises which is a testament to Giuseppe Sesti’s passion for astronomy. Wine tasting sessions often combine with stargazing, making a visit to the winery a truly well-rounded cultural experience.

Sesti winery is a symbol of sustainable winemaking, scientific curiosity and respect for heritage. It continues to enthral its patrons with its breathtaking surroundings, delightful wines, and phenomenally engaging experiences.
