The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Pelagrilli from Siro Pacenti is an extraordinary example of this revered Italian wine, known for its excellence and the strict controlled and guaranteed designation of origin. Produced in the renowned Tuscany region, the Brunello di Montalcino from Siro Pacenti is famous for its deep connection to the Montalcino area, a place that has been synonymous with the highest quality wines for decades.

The Pelagrilli vineyard, situated on well-drained soils rich in mineral elements, benefits from an ideal microclimate that allows the Sangiovese grapes to mature perfectly, expressing all the typicality and varietal complexity. The grapes are handpicked with great care and rigorously selected to ensure only the best for winemaking.

This Brunello has an intense ruby red color, which tends to garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet with notes of ripe fruit, such as cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of tobacco, chocolate, and a subtle spicy touch. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet elegant, with well-structured tannins and a perfect balance between acidity and alcohol. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that echoes the olfactory complexity.

Aged in oak barriques for a period that can exceed two years and followed by further refinement in the bottle, the Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli is a wine that can be enjoyed immediately for its richness, but also offers an incredible aging potential. Ideal to pair with hearty dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine is destined to entice wine lovers with its distinctive style and impeccable quality.

Winery history
The estate took shape when Siro Pacenti purchased the Pelagrilli site in 1970; management passed to Giancarlo Pacenti in the late 1980s, a period in which the estate began regularly bottling Rosso and Brunello. In subsequent years the estate expanded its vineyards to the southern slope and developed the cellar and its current winemaking practices.
Production philosophy
The estate prioritizes the cultivation and enhancement of pure Sangiovese, sustainable farming practices, hand-harvesting and grape selection by parcel. At the winery, parcels are vinified separately and wines are aged for extended periods in wood to achieve fine tannins and complexity; some wines are unfiltered and decanting is recommended.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located mainly in the Pelagrilli area north of Montalcino and in Piancornello to the south. The estate manages vineyards with varying exposures and microclimates to produce wines that balance freshness and structure.
Awards and recognitions
Notable recognitions: James Suckling awarded the Brunello "Vecchie Vigne" 2015 Wine of the Year 2019. The estate's wines also receive high scores from specialist guides and critics.
