Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli
2019
Le domaine Siro Pacenti a été fondé en 1971, mais son histoire moderne a débuté en 1988, au moment où Giancarlo Pacenti (le fils de Siro) a décidé de se consacrer entièrement à l’exploitation du domaine familial. C’est au début des années 1990 que Giancarlo, qui était alors en visite à Bordeaux, a commencé à acquérir sa profonde compréhension du terroir de Montalcino.

A pure and focused version, with cherry, strawberry and currant fruit shaded by mineral and tobacco accents. Vibrant and harmonious, this is all about the fruit, with a well-integrated structure and terrific length on the finish.

Complex and layered with truffles, white pepper, cardamom, dried cherries, blueberries, bay leaves, fresh mushrooms and potpourri. Sophisticated and weightless, with a medium to full body and very finely-knit tannins that are more textural. All so beautifully integrated.

Beautiful version 2017 also for Brunello from the youngest vineyards, from a sustainable viticulture. Nose that shows small red fruits, pomegranate above all, then fresh thyme and nice mentholated nuance in the closing. The mouthfeel is equally mentholated, with a crispy and taut mouthfeel.

Effusive aromas and flavors of black currant, black cherry, plum and spice mark this generous, polished red. Well-structured, picking up earth and iron accents for good measure. Shows terrific balance and a long finish.

A beguiling blend of mint, cedar and spiced orange slowly gives way to dried strawberries as the spicy and seductive 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli blossoms in the glass. Silky and round, it flows across the palate with a dense wave of ripe red and black fruits complicated by a bitter bite of clove and dark chocolate. It finishes long and inward, structured with sweet tannins as echoes of violet and lavender fade. I can really feel the heavy clay soils in this rendition of Pelagrilli, as they add a weight and plush feeling, yet still, the energy of the vintage shines through.
