Tenuta di Sesta

Tuscan Vineyard Imports is proud to present another prestigious brand, Tenuta di Sesta of Montalcino. Established in 1966 by brothers Giovanni and Felice Ciacci, Tenuta di Sesta is one of only 12 estates included in the founding of the Brunello di Montalcino DOC appellation. Today the winery is run by Giovanni Ciacci with the able assistance of his children, Francesca and Andrea who work as agronomist and export manager respectively. The winery’s philosophy remains tied to tradition in the cellar but with innovative and modern vineyard management and clonal selection. The local territory is emphasized in the wines. The wines have a signature femminine style and freshness. Located on the southern side of the mountain, Tenuta di Sesta is blessed with warm breezes coming from the Maremma coast. It is sheltered by the cold from the mountain located behind the vineyards forming a sort of protective amphitheater. Vineyard elevation varies from 200-400 meters. Grapes are carefully tended in the vineyard and once vinification and malolactic fermentation occurs, the wine is transferred by gravity into large traditional Slavonian oak botti. These range in size with the majority being 20 HL barrels. The traditional wines of Montalcino are produced, Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG as well as two IGT Toscana Red blends which are compatible with the terrain.
