Biodynamic wine from Montalcino
Very interesting wine tonight, after a day that started off foggy and opaque, but which ended up bright and sunny.
It’s a biodynamic wine from Sesti, a Brunello producer, which is full of interest. It’s not a wine that everyone will ‘get’, but whether you like savoury, food-friendly reds with some personality, that could be for you.

100% Sangiovese from Brunello, that is a cherry red colour
with a brick red rim. Lovely warm spicy nose with a savoury, earthy, slightly mushroomy tang. The palate is very savoury and a bit funky with complex, evolved spicy, earthy flavours and a tip of medicine. It’s really expressive and a bit old fashioned (in a good way), and I really like it. Finishes with good acidity and a bit of tannic grip. A great food wine. 89/100 (£9.95 available from new Web wine merchant http://www.fromvineyardsdirect.com/)
