SIRO PACENTI

Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli 2016

- 92 points -

Pelagrilli takes its name from the locale in the northern sector of Montalcino where Siro Pacenti purchased property in 1970. It is made from 25- to 35-year-old vines and includes a small percentage of fruit from the estate's Piancornello vineyard in the south. Dark brambly aromas make way for fragrant bay laurel and eucalyptus. There's lovely purity of juicy black currants at this wine’s nucleus, and grainy, grippy tannins give textural drama.
