Join us and explore the wines of Tenuta Di Sesta Winery from Tuscany
during a 2hr private tasting and 3 course dinner.
\Since 1995 the winery has been managed by Giovanni Ciacci, who has since been joined by his children Andrea e Francesca in the areas of business and agronomic management. For the Ciacci family, traditional ageing in big oak barrels and renewed vineyard management based on climatic changes and in favor of the territory constitute the best strategy to obtain wines that best express the territory of Montalcino. Clearly of Roman origin, the name Sesta derives from the sixth (sesta in Italian) milestone where the Parish Church of Saint Mary of Sexta once stood along the ancient road from Roselle to Chiusi, which was already an important Etruscan communication route as evidenced by the numerous archaeological finds along this road.
New “modern” agronomic management with respect to the past adapting to climactic changes over time accompanied by traditional ageing in Slavonian oak barrels to preserve original features.
In the vineyard: our focus is on growing grapes that, according to the physical and chemical characteristics of each vineyard, achieve good freshness through meticulous management of the leaf canopy around the grapes as well as concentration through cluster thinning of excess bunches.
In the cellar: it is our belief that Sangiovese in the territory of Montalcino has a flavour to preserve: the use of Slavonian oak barrels, average size 30hl, is able to lend the wine a quality of aromas that do not mask the unique taste of Sangiovese Grosso cultivated in our area.
