About this winery

The Siro Pacenti estate was founded in 1971, but its story truly began in 1988 when Giancarlo Pacenti (Siro's son) decided to fully dedicate himself to managing the family estate. It was in the early 1990s, during a visit to Bordeaux, that Giancarlo began to gain a deep understanding of the Montalcino terroir. The total estate includes 20 hectares of cereal crops and 20 hectares of olive groves and woods as well as 20 hectares of sangiovese grosso vineyards. Production is 60,000 bottles per...

Product notes

The grapes are Sangiovese 100% coming from Northern area (Pelagrilli),from vineyards of over 25 years old The harvest is only by hand on a production for strain of 800/1.000 gr. manual sorting of grapes on appropriate tables before and after the destemming. The Siro Pacenti estate practices sustainable agriculture. The natural sediment that occasionally accurs in our bottles is evidence of our winemaking philosophy.

Tasting notes

This is really rich and layered with velvety tannins that coat the palate. It's full-bodied with ripe tannins and a finish of black cherries, cedar, walnuts, dried mushrooms and dried leaves. Needs time to soften. - JAMES SUCKLING

Beautiful aromas of cherries, plums and fresh flowers with some oranges follow through to a full body with round and chewy tannins that are polished and refined for the hot 2017 vintage. Flavorful and fresh finish. Remains in check and toned. Drink in 2023 and onwards.

(Vintage 2017)

Balsam herbs, macerated black cherries, mocha, pine shavings and a cooling whiff of mint make the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli impossible to ignore. This is soft-textured and vibrant in character, with tart wild berries and savory spices energized by zesty acids and hints of sour citrus. It leaves a concentration of violet and lavender-tinged black fruits to resonate over a coating of sweet tannins, finishing incredibly long and structured. While the 2017 may not possess the contours and concentration that I’ve come to know from Pelagrilli, I can’t help but admire it for its verve and balance.

(Vintage 2017)

This is taut and chewy, with beefy tannins putting a strong grip on the black cherry, plum, earth and spice flavors. Feels more fruity than savory, ending with assertive tannins. Best from 2025 through 2042. 2,000 cases made, 750 cases imported.
