TENUTA DI SESTA BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG 2016 RISERVA DUELECCI EST

The Tenuta di Sesta Brunello di Montalcino Docg Riserva has always been the final result of very careful work in the three best Brunello vineyards of the estate.
As the DUELECCI vineyard has proven to be the best one for many years now, it has been decided to dedicate the Riserva Brunello to the fruit of this single vineyard.
 
The vineyard has an excellent location on a rolling hill in the south part of the Montalcino territory where all the Tenuta di Sesta vineyards are located. The DUELECCI Riserva will be produced from the east part (EST) of the vineyards, characterised by a particularly pebbly soil which  is suitable for cooler summers.
