SIRO PACENTI
Rosso di Montalcino 2021
- 92 points -
Dark and brooding, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is at first rich and opulent, with an array of plum sauce and licorice. It gains an earthy balance as minty herbs and cedar shavings join the fray. This is like pure silk on the palate, with a measured inner sweetness perfectly contrasted by orange and tart wild berry fruits cascading throughout. The 2021 takes on a crunchy sensation through the long and dramatic finale as sour cranberry and orange sorbet suggestions slowly fade. As is typically the case, Siro Pacenti balances exoticism with refinement in a way that I find wildly attractive.
