Giuseppe Sesti originally an academic with a particular passion for the effects of the moon on agriculture (he has published four books on the subject) took on the Argiano estate in 1975. The estate consists of 254 acres of land of which only eight are given over to the growing of grapevines. The rest is olive groves, pasture and woodland. The vineyards, however, are some of the best sited in the region, being on the southern slopes of Montalcino where the most best Brunello comes from.

This easy drinking rosé makes a great a apéritif for lazy summer afternoons!
Scoring 87/100 Parker points and from the very good 2001 vintage "The medium-red 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Annata is an austere wine that seems to be built for tertiary development rather than for an expression of fruit. It is a medium-bodied yet structured Brunello with a modest compressed core of red fruit licorice and menthol flavors displaying good overall length." Drink now - 2021. The perfect more info >>
Scoring 88/100 Parker points and from the outstanding 2004 vintage "As is to be expected the 2004 Rosso di Montalcino has developed an additional layer of complexity with bottle age.
