Vigniaolo, Giuseppe “Giugi” Sesti, believes that any chemical intervention damages the delicacy of Sangiovese; thus, his vines are farmed organically. Additionally, minimal cellar intervention results in wines that express the nature of Giugi’s southernly exposed vineyards that lie on the slopes of Montalcino. Rosso spends 30 months in older 30 hectoliters Slovenian oak before it is bottled and released. If aged for a period, this wine will be sure to reward the patient wine aficionado. Sweet spice and balsamic perfume marry grippy tannins, leading to a long finish of dried thyme, oregano, and rich plum.
