THE STORY
"Castello di Argiano is the estate of Signor Giuseppe Maria Sesti. A Renaissance man with so many interests, Sesti studied wine for 15 years before making his first Brunello. He went around and spoke to the old farmers to see how they made their wine. Being a very competent astronomer and a practitioner of biodynamics, he manipulates his wines as little as possible and respects the influence of the moon prior to doing any transfer of wine."

Sesti Brunello Di Montalcino 2003
"Medium red, with a hint of amber at the edge. Lovely perfumed aromas and flavors of cherry, leather, tobacco and dried flowers. Sweet, precise and high-pitched, with impressive energy giving the wine excellent grip. Conveys an impression of intensity without weight. The rising finish is suave, fresh and very long. Superb sangiovese complexity here, with virtually no sign of the vintage's heat. A beauty." ST

Altesino Brunello Di Montalcino 2003
The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty, supple wine with sweet red fruit and an accessible personality. The heat of the vintage is felt in the sweet notes of fruit and oak that linger on the finish. Ideally the oak could be a little more integrated and the tannins might be more finessed, but this is a nicely poised effort from Altesino. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015.
