About this winery

Identified by the Wine Spectator as 'the best winemaker in the appellation of Brunello di Montalcino', Giancarlo Pacenti took over running his family's 60 hectare estate in 1988.

Product notes

The greatest care goes into the production of Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino. The grapes used for the Rosso di Montalcino come from vines between 15 and 25 years old. Manual sorting of grapes on appropriate tables before the destemming, using and optical selector after the destemming. Structured and powerful keep the freshness and typical aromas of our land.

Through it all, zesty acidity maintains fantastic balance, as the 2020 finishes grippy and long, leaving licorice and a balsamic herbal twang. All this needs is time to fully express itself.
