Wunderbar saftiger und offener Sangiovese vom Brunello-Weingut Sesta di Sopra. Schwarze Kirschen und Pflaumen verschmelzen mit süßen Gewürzen und Lakritz in einem genussvollen Wein, der eine leichtere, aber keineswegs banale Seite der Appellation zeigt. SUPERIORE.DE

"A fresh and very clean red with cherry and hints of chocolate character. Medium body, fresh acidity and a crisp finish. Bright and linear. Tiny production and from a top cult Brunello producer. Drink and enjoy." James Suckling

Intensive, rauchige Brombeernase, Kirsche, Schokolade und Pflaume am Gaumen; ein schöner Fruchtschmelz und griffiges Tannin breiten sich kontinuierlich und lang zu einem ernsthaften Einstieg in die große Weinwelt Montalcinos aus. SUPERIORE.DE

"The folks at Sesta di Sopra are releasing this wine later than usual. The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino (with 8,400 bottles made) is a terrific expression that acts and tastes like a full-fledged Brunello. The wine opens slowly in the glass, revealing budding complexity as it does. It shows bright berry intensity with grilled herb, pressed violet and potting soil. The mid-weight finish is elegant and tight." Robert Parker

Keine 8.000 Flaschen gibt es von diesem großartigen Brunello 2012, einem kräftigen und doch hocheleganten Wein. Ettore und Enrica Bandirola lernten das Weinmachen von der Pike auf bei keinem geringeren als Giancarlo (Siro) Pacenti. Geheimtipp! SUPERIORE.DE

"Nase mit Noten von Steinobst und Bitterschokolade; im Mund kompakt, mit viel Schmelz und schönem Verlauf hin zu Aromen saftigen Steinobsts. Harmonisch." Vinum

"The Sesta di Sopra 2012 Brunello di Montalcino is a rich and savory wine. It opens to a beautifully saturated ruby color and a dark appearance. The bouquet is redolent of cherry, wild raspberry, spice, toasted almond and spicy tobacco or cured leather. The quality and the intensity of the bouquet is excellent. But like many of the best Brunellos of the vintage, the mouthfeel is not as long or deep as you might expect, given the generous abundance of the aromas released." Robert Parker

"Beautiful aromas of raspberries, strawberries and flowers. Very intense and focused. Full-bodied, silky and flashy with lots of fruit and firm and tight tannins. Needs time to open but already fantastic." James Suckling

"Bright dark red. The terroir-driven nose offers raspberry, cherry, and iron aromas, complicated by oak-derived coffee and sweet spice tones. Utterly seamless in texture, featuring very precise and highly energetic smoky red cherry and raspberry jelly flavors. The slowly mounting, suave finish shows outstanding length and a refined touch to the tannins." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Mature black-skinned fruit, menthol and dark spice aromas carry over to the savory, full-bodied palate, joining juicy black cherry, raspberry compote and dried herb flavors. Firm, fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity offer support and a seamless feel." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino shows impressive balance with a dark appearance that is not heavy and a compact texture that remains light and elegant all at once. Bold cherry fruit segues to licorice, tar and tangy cedar wood. The wine is silky and fresh with moderate to long persistence." Robert Parker

"Dark and mysterious, this red offers plum, black cherry, leather, leafy tobacco and tar flavors. Fresh and lifted up by a layer of beefy tannins, lingering with a spicy, underbrush aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"A red with plenty of ripe and floral fruit on the nose as well as orange peel and cherry. Full body, linear and very fine with beautiful fruit. White pepper, too. Shows energy." James Suckling

"Elegantly scented, this fragrant red opens with scents of perfumed berry, iris, pipe tobacco and exotic spice. The vibrant linear palate evokes juicy cranberry, sour cherry and star anise framed in tightly wound fine-grained tannins while bright acidity provides balance. A savory saline note lingers on the finish." Wine Enthusiast
