The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Vecchie Vigne by Siro Pacenti is a specimen that captures the essence of the extraordinary terroir of Montalcino. Located in the renowned region of Tuscany, this wine is the result of careful selection and vinification processes using Sangiovese grapes from the winery's old vines, some of which are over 35 years old.
The maturation process takes place in French oak barriques for a period that can vary from 24 to 28 months, giving the wine a robust and complex structure. This is followed by a further refining in the bottle for at least 12 months before it is released onto the market. The result is a wine of deep color intensity, tending towards a rich ruby with garnet reflections as it ages.
On the nose, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Vecchie Vigne by Siro Pacenti reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet with hints of ripe red fruits, notes of tobacco and chocolate, enriched by spicy and balsamic nuances that develop as the wine evolves. On the palate, it offers a powerful yet balanced taste, with well-structured tannins and aromatic persistence that confirms the initial olfactory impressions.
Known for its longevity, this Brunello is perfectly suited for aging, able to evolve elegantly for over two decades. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. Tasting it is an experience that enriches every special occasion, making it a must-have for wine lovers seeking a high-quality glass from one of the best wine regions in Italy.
