Sesti’s freshest, most quaffable wine is made from 18-year-old vines and aged one year in large oak botti. Notes of sour cherry, red currant, orange peel, and cured meats lead to dancing flavors and a delightfully light finish that make it a great match with burgers, sausage, pizza, pasta. (Monteleccio, by the way, is an Italian version of the Latin, Montalcino, for“hill of the holm oaks.”)
