Brunello di Montalcino PS Vecchie Vigne 2012 from Siro Pacenti is a single-vineyard red wine from the Montalcino zone in Tuscany. Pacenti is known for his modern methodology, using specific vineyard selections and French oak barriques to achieve greater refinement and polish. This wine displays a dark, structured profile, offering concentrated aromas of black cherry, tobacco, mocha and dried earth. The palate is dense and full-bodied, showcasing powerful structure and a polished, elegant texture supported by fine-grained tannins.

The color of the 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is stunning, a vibrant translucent ruby that shows no signs of maturity. Its aromatics are to die for, lifted and fresh yet sweetly spiced, boasting notes of crushed strawberry, clove, minty herbs, cigar box and flinty stone. This coasts silky textures across a core of motivating acidity, streamlined yet refined, as tart red fruits and nuances of sour citrus pucker the cheeks. The 2012 tapers off with tension and spice, leaving an orange rind bitterness and black currants to linger. This zesty Brunello is remarkably vibrant, despite the warm vintage conditions, and it’s drinking beautifully. It’s a testament to the Pacenti style, having spent 24 months in 70-80% new oak, which has integrated perfectly over the last ten years. My only recommendation is to decant at this stage, as the best glass was the last glass, enjoyed over 24 hours after pulling the cork.Eric Guido17th January 2023
