New Releases: Siro Pacenti "Talk about hitting the nail on the head"



"Giancarlo Pacenti is by far the leading exponent of the modern school of Brunello di Montalcino"
Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Siro Pacenti offers a unique insight into truly refined, polished Brunello di Montalcino from a star winemaker. Owned by the talented and progressive Giancarlo Pacenti, this 22 hectare estate is a leading light in what is known as the "modern school" of Brunello. He is undoubtedly one of the most inquisitive, restless producers in Montalcino and that comes through in his prominent wines.

The Siro Pacenti wines are characterised by amazing textural beauty and refinement. The 2013s are dense and powerful, evoking the ultimate combination of Sangiovese from two perfect plots on opposite sides of Montalcino. Each vineyard is vinified separately in order to craft the most harmonious and representative expression of Brunello. The Pelagrilli vineyard to the north provides the wines with fruit and elegance, whereas the Piancornello vineyard in the south gives structure and power. The wines spend two years in French oak barriques in a cold cellar with high humidity, 50% new oak for the Pelagrilli, and 75-80% for the Vecchie Vigne.

We are also delighted to offer the single vineyard 2012 PS Riserva that is bottled only in exceptional vintages of which we have extremely limited availability. All the fruit comes from a tiny plot in the Pelagrilli vineyard with Monica Larner describing this wine as "absolutely impressive" but adds that with the small number of bottles produced (just 4,500) "it might not prove easy to locate". Be sure to secure your case as early as possible.

Put simply, volumes are small, quality is exceptional, and demand is irrepressible.

“Year after year, Siro Pacenti is one of the estates I most enjoy tasting during my annual trip to Montalcino. Talk about hitting the nail on the head.”
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate
