Description
“Year after year, Siro Pacentiis one of the estates I most enjoy tasting during my annual trip to Montalcino. Talk about hitting the nail on the head” Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
“Giancarlo Pacenti is by far the leading exponent of the modern school of Brunello di Montalcino. No other producer has succeeded in crafting wines of this much textural beauty and refinement” Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
"A seriously floral Brunello that combines rose petals and raspberry essence with more intense dried strawberries, chocolate shavings, herbs and cedar. The palate doesn't hold back but is still extremely well balanced and refined with tight, grainy tannins and a long, succulent finish. Drink in 2020" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com
"The rich plum, cherry, leather and graphite aromas and flavors are matched by dense, mouthcoating tannins in this intense red. Balanced and long, with hints of menthol and earth. If you like beefy reds, this is for you. Best from 2023 through 2036" Wine Spectator
"Siro Pacenti's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli offers a terrific package of intensity, freshness, firmness and complexity. It delivers generously on all fronts. The bouquet peels back to reveal wild cherry, rose hip, dried herb and toasted almond. The fruit tastes less ripe here (compared to wines from the southern parts of the appellation), and you do feel that acidic pinch on the close. This wine should flesh out and grow in volume with a few more years of bottle aging" Monica Larner, RobertParker.com
"Underbrush, menthol, star anise and plum aromas mingle with a whiff of exotic spice. The aromas carry over to the austere, firmly structured palate along with espresso, toasted oak, sour cherry and licorice. It's still tight and primary, with firm acidity and youthfully bracing close-grained tannins that grip the finish. Drink after 2025" Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"Concentrated but holding back a little on the nose. Fluid and concentrated at the same time and with a tangy, tannic finish" Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
This beautiful Brunello is made from 100% Sangiovese (the grape of Chianti) and comes from the Northern area (Pelagrilli) of Brunello from vineyards of over 35 years old. If you like big rich wines that will cellar well, but are also apprecohable now, this is a must try! It is the perfect gift for any wine lover.
Giancarlo Pacenti is one of the most progressive winemakers of Brunello di Montalcino. His fame has been steadily growing over the last two decades. Pacenti, who took over his family’s estate in 1988, ages his wines entirely in barrique, with the aim of making clean, rich and intense wines. His fruit is sourced from two family-owned vineyards and he farms in a sustainable manner.
Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's—and the world's—most renowned red wines. All Brunello di Montalcino wine is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown on the slopes around Montalcino – a classic Tuscan hilltop village 20 miles (30km) south of Siena. Theword Brunello translates roughly as 'little dark one', and is the local vernacular name for Sangiovese Grosso, the large-berried form of Sangiovese which grows in the area.
