Note di degustazione
Located in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, Sesta di Sopra pursues a traditional approach to making its Brunello, which was one of the most pleasant discoveries of my tastings of the 2001 vintage. The vines are still young, and there is much to look forward to in future years from this producer. The pretty 2001 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a delicate, expressive nose of flowers and spices. It displays attractive juiciness and length on the palate, with sweet notes of macerated cherries and tobacco supported by a medium bodied frame, with fine, silky tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021. Various American importers, including: Premier Wine Company, Richmond, CA; tel. (???) ???-????, and Dal Imports, New York, NY; tel. (???) ???-????

Medium red. Floral aromas of red plum, marzipan and cinnamon. Juicy, spicy and intense, with firm-edged but youthfully imploded flavors of wild red berries. Finishes with excellent spine and vinosity. With aeration, this very young wine showed increasing sweetness, with strong kirsch, floral and mineral elements emerging. Offers lovely finesse.
