Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne Siro Pacenti 2019

Der Brunello di Montalcino von Siro Pacenti, dem seit dem Jahrgang 2012 die Bezeichnung "Vecchie Vigne" hinzugefügt wurde, ist eine der grossen Referenzen dieser Appellation in der Toscana. Der Wein ist sehr strukturiert und lang, mit seidigen Tanninen, und sehr elegant. Er entsteht auf zwei Parzellen, deren Rebstöcke ein Durchschnittsalter von 35 Jahren haben. Die von Natur aus niedrigen Erträge begünstigen die Konzentration dieses Weins. Der Ausbau in Barriques dauert 24 Monate.

Showing an inky dark appearance and made with old-vine fruit, the Siro Pacenti 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne has a note of baked blackberry pie with the crust, raspberry preserves, barbecue smoke, cigar box and every other rather extreme aromatic description you could apply to a heavily barrique-aged red wine. It's overblown for sure, especially at this young age, but experience teaches us that Siro Pacenti's wines need time, lots of time, before all the elements fall into palace. The alcohol is registered at 15%, and there are jackhammer tannins to close. Some 22,000 bottles were made, and they should be put aside for another 10 years. - ML 12/2023

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is intense, bursting from the glass with a blend of rosemary and spiced blood orange before evolving to show dried black cherries and hints of incense. This flows across the palate with velvety textures complicated by tactile mineral tones and zesty acidity as cooltoned red and black fruits slowly saturate. A web of fine-grained tannins envelops the senses as the 2019 finishes dramatically long and staining, leaving traces of cedary spice and inner rose to linger on and on. This is a formidable VecchieVigne that will pay dividends in the cellar. - EG 11/2023
