2006 Siro Pacenti PS - Brunello di Montalcino Riserva - 6 Bouteilles (0,75 L)

Ultimate Brunello from Siro Pacenti!! In OWC

The estate vineyards total 22 hectares (54 acres) and are located around Pelagrilli, north of Montalcino. The vineyards are made up of clay and sand, and are on the Montalcino hill where they are cooled by continental breezes. The wines from this vineyard tend to have complex aromatics and softer tannins, while wines made at a warmer 5-ha (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.

Siro Pacenti's portfolio is headed by the Riserva PS, which is sourced from a single 1.5-ha plot in Pelagrilli and aged for 24 months in new French oak. Pacenti also makes two other Brunello wines called Vecchie Vigne and Pelagrilli.
