2003 Brunello di Montalcino

Giuseppe Sesti originally an academic with a particular passion for the effects of the moon on agriculture (he has published four books on the subject) took on the Argiano estate in 1975. The estate consists of 254 acres of land of which only eight are given over to the growing of grapevines. The rest is olive groves, pasture and woodland. The vineyards, however, are some of the best sited in the region, being on the southern slopes of Montalcino where the most best Brunello comes from.
