SIRO PACENTI BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO PELLAGRILLI 2018

Style: Bold & Powerful

The estate is in fact made up of two separate estates - one to the north of Montalcino at Pelagrilli and planted by Giancarlo's grandfather in 1970 and the other an earlier 1960s planting in the south of Montalcino at Piancornello. Despite this relatively long history in the area (compared to many newcomers), it was not until Giancarlo arrived on the scene in the 1980s that the wines started to be made with a clear quality vision in mind. 

There¿s something almost animalistic about the 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli, which I¿m finding quite appealing. Wild blueberries, crushed violets, allspice, spiced orange rinds and hints of cocoa can all be found in the glass. The clay soils of the area impart a velvety-smooth and undeniably elegant feel, with a dense textural wave of ripe dark red fruits that coats the palate in concentration, complemented by sweet inner herbal tones and hints of lavender. ERIC GUIDO
