Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2019 Pelagrilli Siro Pacenti

Brunello di Montalcino "PS" Riserva DOCG 2012 Siro Pacenti

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Siro Pacenti Riserva 2012 is an extraordinary expression of Sangiovese in purity, born from one of the most balanced vintages in the recent history of Montalcino. It comes from one and a half hectares of the oldest vineyard parcels that are over fifty years old, in a harvest of rare intensity. The uncompromising selection, the double hand-picking, fermentation in steel, and 24 months in small French oak barrels converge towards a single purpose: to express the utmost complexity and structure of this great terroir.

Territory and wine style

The 2012 vintage is considered one of the most refined in the recent history of Montalcino: elegant, structured, with a concentration resulting from ideal seasonal conditions and perfect tannic maturity. This wine is at one of those moments when a great Brunello shows all its complexity and reveals the evolutionary potential that characterizes it. Those who drink it today will discover a wine in full expression; those who wait will experience what Montalcino produces from its oldest vines in one of its best vintages.

Tasting notes

Intense ruby red color with garnet reflections. On the nose, cherry, balsam, cedar wood, dried herbs, and spices – dense, concentrated, with a complexity that reveals itself progressively. The taste is powerful and precise at the same time: fine and firm tannins, an acidity of electrifying liveliness, a finish that layers and extends endlessly. A wine that shows its maturity with elegance and depth.

Mentholated herbs blend with exotic spices, tobacco, and crushed ash stones. It is structured and refined, with ripe berries and a hint of citrus flowing over a stream of refreshing acidity. The finish is complex and incredibly long, with a concentration of red berries and cocoa that lingers. The Riserva 2012 expresses all the nobility of this great vintage. It is fascinating to discover how this wine continues to evolve in the glass.
