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.

Brunello Old Vines 2015: James Suckling Wine of the Year 2019
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.
