The Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne 2013 is a refined and beautifully structured wine from a cooler, classical vintage. The nose reveals red cherry, wild strawberry, violet, and subtle spice layered with hints of tobacco and earthy nuance. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity providing precision and lift. Flavors of sour plum, cranberry, and savory mineral tones unfold with clarity and depth. The texture is poised and elegant, emphasizing finesse over power. The finish is long, fresh, and finely etched—an age-worthy Brunello that captures both vintage purity and the depth of old vines.
Siro Pacenti is one of Montalcino’s most respected estates, known for combining modern precision with deep terroir expression. Founded in the 1970s and later elevated by Giancarlo Pacenti, the winery works vineyards on both the northern and southern slopes of the appellation. Farming emphasizes low yields, careful selection, and optimal ripeness to achieve balance and concentration. In the cellar, fermentation is controlled and aging takes place in French oak, contributing polish without masking Sangiovese character. The style is rich and structured yet increasingly refined. Vecchie Vigne represents the estate’s top selection from older vines.
