This is excellent but it would not make a good choice for early drinking

It has a medium ruby color and bright aromas of cranberries

Sesta di Sopra, Brunello Montalcino other_regions_australia began a bit lean andThe Sesta di Sopra 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is very generous and ripe with plush dark fruit, spiced brandy, blackberry liqueur and crme de cassis. There is an actively tannic component that is grippy and drying. It practically sucks the air out of your mouth, and I'm not confident that it will ever fully integrate. For that reason, I feel this wine is not fully balanced. Production is 4,500 bottles.
