Note di degustazione
Moderately saturated deep red. Musky, scented aromas of red fruits, pepper and tobacco are quite inviting. Juicy and sweet, with lovely ripe acidity framing the wine's generous plum, redcurrant and smoke flavors. Doesn't quite deliver the complexity that the nose promises but this very ripe wine is still a bit youthfully tight.

Soft-textured and powerful at the same time, Sesta di Sopra's 2003 Brunello di Montalcino gives the impression it is still holding back much of its potential. Dark fruit, earthiness, licorice, toasted oak, tar and spices all open in the glass as this intense wine gradually shows its pure breed. Like many wines from the southern part of the zone, it comes across as a wine that is best enjoyed on the young side but it is sure to provide much pleasure over the next few years. This is a terrific effort from Sesta di Sopra.
