In an elegantly designed bottle, the Siro Pacenti 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli delivers lots of dark fruit and blackberry, and the quality of the fruit is bold, fresh and still very much alive. The house style prizes concentration and oak spice, but the detailed-minded winemaking is impeccable. The wine is structured and firm and stands apart in a crowd, but alas, it does show an unfortunate 15% alcohol content. This is a 23,000-bottle release.

A fruity version packed with cherry, raspberry, floral and stony mineral aromas and flavors. A vibrant and elegant red, with a firm line of tannins guarding the finish. Shows superb balance and future potential. Best from 2026 through 2045. 2,000 cases made, 700 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add
