2017 Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli DOCG

From: Tuscany, Italy Varietal: Sangiovese Winemaker’s tasting notes: “Lots of structure and true pedigree from the northern section of Montalcino. Higher tone red fruits enveloped by French oak accents of toffee and vanilla.” Critical Acclaim: “Beautiful aromas of cherries, plums and fresh flowers with some oranges follow through to a full body with round and chewy tannins that are polished and refined for the hot 2017 vintage. Flavorful and fresh finish. Remains in check and toned. Drink in 2023 and onwards.” –James Suckling, 94 points “The Siro Pacenti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli is a robust and powerful expression with dark fruit nuances that transition to a dense core and a tightly woven inner fabric with more enriched black fruit and spice. Pelagrilli has a beautifully soft and open-knit character, and the tannins are well managed to show no rough edges or bitterness. What stands out best in this wine is the sheer density. Built like a tank, it will embrace long cellar
