By law, a Brunello cannot be sold until the beginning of the fifth year after the vintage. Now, that ties up quite a lot of cash-flow, always the bane of a winegrower’s life. So, the creation of an early-bottled, early-drinking style of Sangiovese is not just a boon, almost a necessity.

Sesti, Castello di Argiano
One could use the word ‘serendipitous’ in wine ad infinitum, but it definitely works well with regard to Decorum and Sesti. In late 1999, we needed to buy wine as we endeavoured to get the business off the ground, and we required bottles to sell. Meanwhile, Giugi Sesti had his first Brunello vintage, the 1995, about to come to the market in January 2000. It was a perfect match for both parties.
The Sesti story begins in 1972, when Giugi (a Venetian) and wife Sarah (from Shropshire) bought the 14th century Castello di Argiano. Sounds idyllic, correct? Apart from the fact that the whole property was completely dilapidated. They duly embarked on a massive project of reconstruction, which is still on-going. Vines were planted in 1989, taking up 9 hectares of the 102 that comprise the estate. Since Giugi is first and foremost an astronomer, hardly surprising that the cycle of the moon plays an integral part in all the viticulture and vinification.

Tuscany
Everyone’s image of Italia, surely? And home to the Sangiovese: whether responsible for Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, or Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, the grape’s enormous potential is being fully recognised in the 21st century. And it’s not just these famous areas that are doing the business, superb examples are now being made in coastal Maremma (source, too, for fresh, vibrant whites from the Vermentino). Meanwhile, there’s always Bolgheri for those who love Bordeaux.
