2018 Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli

"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. Drink from 2024." Review Date: November 2022

"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. Drink Date: 2025 - 2040" - Monica Larner Review Date: March 2023
