2013 | Siro Pacenti | Ps Vecchie Vigne Brunello Di Montalcino

Forest floor, toasted oak, dark spice, new leather and tobacco aromas fill the glass along with a whiff of eucalyptus. The firmly structured concentrated palate shows power and finesse, offering dried black cherry, star anise, coffee bean and grilled sage alongside fresh acidity and close-grained tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: Bright and bursting with cherry, currant and berry flavors, this also has a tannic edge, along with tobacco and leafy underbrush notes. The two camps need to reach some sort of détente before this really sings.

• Decanter: The sweet fruits have a soft, almost milky or creamy aromatic sheen, like glove leather. On the palate, those fruits are more structured and firm: plum and pomegranate, with palpable cut and shapeliness, fresh and springy tannins and ample, poised dryness.

Producer Information

Siro Pacenti is an acclaimed estate in Tuscany, known for its Brunello di Montalcino wines. It is credited with being one of Montalcino's top estates, with praise for the wines consistently recieved from both customers and critics. The estate vineyards total 22 hectares (54 acres), located around Pelagrilli, just north of Montalcino. Here, soils are made up of both clay and sand with the vineyards cooled by continental breezes thanks to the Montalcino Hill. Wine produced from this vineyard tend to have complex aromatics and softer tannins, while wines made at a warmer 5 ha (12 acre) site at Piancornello, are more full-bodied with a more robust tannic structure. Siro Pacenti's portfolio is headed by the Riserva PS, which is sourced from a single 1.5 ha (3.7 acre) plot in Pelagrilli and aged for 24 months in new French oak. Pacenti also makes two other Brunello wines called Vecchie Vigne and Pelagrilli. A Rosso di Montalcino sourced from younger vines makes for the estate's entry-level offering.
