The archetypal Restaurant Wine, the Brunello has featured on the best Italian restaurants in London for years, and has been notoriously difficult to get hold of for fans of drinking Montalcino wines at home.

The wines from the Sesti family were responsible for my falling for wines from this area, and they are still so hard to beat. The family are friends, and what they do just south of Montalcino itself is nothing short of wine making magic.

Wines from the Castello di Argiano are not to be confused with the mega producer next door - Argiano.

This wine is critically acclaimed. A savoury, well structured, rich, full-bodied red wine with blackberry, herbaceous and spicy notes on the nose and the palate. Savoury notes of black truffle can also be identified on the palate. Pair with red meats, game, pasta dishes with rich meat sauces and mature cheeses.

What started as neighbourly help assisting in the nearby vineyards and wineries soon led Giuseppe Sesti to discover his own passion and talent for winemaking, planting his own vines at Castello di Argiano in 1991. The progress he has made in such a short time is staggering, and the Sesti wines are now widely acknowledged to be, quite simply, some of the finest Montalcino has to offer.

Having studied astronomy, it is not surprising that many of his winemaking processes follow the lunar cycle. Giuseppe Sesti has succeeded in establishing an extremely impressive international reputation in the world of winemaking.
