Description
Tasting Notes: 96 points Decanter - "Appropriately reticent, Sesti’s Riserva gradually reveals the profusion of Mediterranean flora that will blossom with time. Hints of sage and heather intertwine with tangy sundried cherry. The tannins are the texture of fine sand but there are masses of them. It manages to pull off amplitude and density with an unlikely ethereal weightlessness, before trailing off leisurely with a savoury mineral twist. As for its celestial dedication, the 2019 release commemorates the 11 November Transit of Mercury, when the planet passed directly across the sun." 14.5%abv
