A 100% Sangiovese Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Siro Pacenti's old-vine ('Vecchie Vigne') selection, blending fruit from two sites — Piancornello on gravelly/rocky soil to the south, Pelagrilli on sandy-clay soil to the north. The 2016 shows dark berry,

spice, tobacco, menthol, and spiced blueberry aromas with a firmly structured, close-grained-tannin palate of dried cherry, mocha, and licorice, built for extended cellaring.

Producer history

Siro Pacenti founded the family's original Pelagrilli estate in 1970 in Montalcino's Canalicchio district, with the first Rosso and Brunello di Montalcino bottled in 1988, the year management passed to Siro's son Giancarlo. Giancarlo, trained in Bordeaux,

drove major investment in winery equipment and cellar practices, and in 1990 expanded the estate with the Piancornello vineyard in southeastern Montalcino, which includes vines planted by his maternal grandfather in the 1960s — old plantings that feed into the Vecchie Vigne bottling.

The estate is recognized as a pioneer of barrique aging and single-vineyard/selection bottlings for Brunello.

Signature pairings

Peposo alla fornacina (Tuscan peppered beef stew)
This slow-braised, black-pepper-heavy Tuscan stew matches the wine's spice, tobacco, and firm tannic structure, with its long braise standing up to a wine built for cellaring.
Porcini mushroom risotto
The wine's own grilled-porcini and earthy notes make this a natural echo pairing, with the risotto's creaminess softening the wine's assertive tannins.
Aged Tuscan pecorino with dark honey and walnuts
A classic regional cheese course; the cheese's salinity and nutty richness complement the wine's licorice and dried-fruit notes while tempering its tannic grip.

About this bottle

Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.

Elegant Brunello di Montalcino from old-vine Sangiovese; structured tannins, dark cherry, and earthy complexity.

Siro Pacenti's Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne DOCG 2018 is a single-varietal expression of Sangiovese from mature vines in Tuscany's most prestigious red-wine zone. The wine displays a medium-full body with medium-high tannins and balanced acidity, offering primary notes of black cherry and plum alongside secondary cedar and oak spice.

Tertiary layers of tobacco, leather, and earth emerge with air, reflecting the wine's structure and aging potential. This is a food-friendly Brunello suited to grilled red meats, braised beef dishes, and aged cheeses.
