Sesta di Sopras Riserva from the 2019 flagship vintage impressively presents a masculine and muscular personality in the glass. The nose has a striking aroma of dark fruits, wild berries, sour cherries, leather and tobacco. All of these components blend together seamlessly. A medium texture and density on the palate and a fantastically long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A selection of choice bunches at harvest, Sesta di Sopra’s Riserva is only produced in years that won’t compromise the quality of the ‘annata’ bottling, as the two hail from the same small vineyard. An intoxicating nose of bougainvillea, fennel and tarragon evokes Montalcino’s south. The pristine palate brings in fleshy red cherry with chalky accents. Voluminous and velvety, it carries its density with relative ease. Long-grained tannins caress, and it finishes decidedly dry." Decanter

"Dark cherries and cigar box as well as a hint of orange peel, interwoven with a note of liquorice. With a medium body, it shows an impressive balance between juicy, clearly defined fruit, a fine tannin structure and a delicate thread of acidity that holds everything together. Solid and balanced." James Suckling

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva awakens slowly in the glass with hints of sage, rosemary and cedar spice and is as dark as it is irresistible. Over time, notes of blood oranges and crushed blackberries emerge, flooding the palate with an abundance of mineral red and black fruits. It slowly saturates the senses with a tart primary concentration and fine tannins. Incredibly long and colourful, the 2019 finishes structured and intense, but with a balance that promises many years of positive development. Keep this beauty in the cellar." Vinous
