Layers of dark cherry, blackberry and blood orange peel dominate Siro Pacenti’s 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne, wrapped in notes of warm spice, cedar and wild herbs. The palate is deep and concentrated yet vibrant, with sleek, chalky tannins and a tightly coiled core that promises impressive complexity as it relaxes in bottle. Powerful but finely sculpted, this is a serious, ageworthy Brunello from old vines that will reward patience.
Bistecca alla Fiorentina; braised lamb shank with rosemary and garlic; wild mushroom and truffle risotto

Siro Pacenti’s Brunello di Montalcino “Vecchie Vigne” is a modern, powerfully concentrated Sangiovese drawn from the estate’s oldest vines (often from Pelagrilli/Piancornello), matured heavily in French oak (commonly ~24 months) and built for long aging. It shows dense black- and red-fruit core layered with rose, tobacco, baking spice and smoky/cedary oak, framed by high alcohol, firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, silky finish—a bold, ageworthy expression of Montalcino with a distinctly modernist polish.
