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
- WA92
- The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty wine laced with generous, plummy red berries, flowers and spices. Medium in body, this approachable Brunello is commendable for its soft, forward fruit and refined finish. This is a relatively slender, lithe vintage, and the 2005 Brunello is best enjoyed on the young side. In 2005 the fruit is 60% Piancornello, in the southern part of Montalcino, and 40% Pelagrilli, next to the winery itself. The single-vineyard PS was not produced in 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
- WS92
- Displays notes of blueberry and light toasty oak, with coffee bean undertones. Full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a gorgeous aftertaste of chocolate and dark berry. Hard not to drink this now. Best after 2011.
