The Winery

Pacenti, Siro

Siro Pacenti is an acclaimed estate in Tuscany, known for its Brunello di Montalcino wines. Its first wines were bottled in 1988, although it had been providing grapes to other producers since 1970. Now, it is credited with being one of Montalcino's top estates, with praise coming from critics like Antonio Galloni and James Suckling. The wines from this vineyard tend to have complex aromatics and softer tannins, while wines made at a warmer 12-acre site at Piancornello are more full-bodied with a more robust tannic structure. Harvests are manual and grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks before aging.

Tasting Notes

JS97
Incredibly perfumed and vibrant with dried berries, flowers and dried strawberries. Full body, a velvety texture and an intense and rich palate. So much richness and length.
WA97
Only made in the best years, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS is a phenomenal achievement. The wine was produced in 2006, 2007, 2010 and will also be released in 2012 and 2015. Fruit is sourced from across a five-hectare vineyard in the northern part of the appellation, but only 1,500 bottles are made using the very best fruit. This is an incredible wine that shows a promising evolution in the glass. The bouquet is fluid and graceful with a very precise and focused delivery. Dark fruit is contrasted against pressed rose, smoked spice and crushed graphite. The finish is silky and very long. Attractive tones of savory smoked meat appear at the very end.
