2016 Siro Pacenti Brunello Vecchie Vigne – 97pt Wine Spectator Rated

Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne 2016
Experience the pinnacle of Tuscan craftsmanship with this critically acclaimed Brunello. Crafted from meticulously selected old-vine Sangiovese across Montalcino’s distinct rocky southern and clay-rich northern slopes, this collectible 2016 vintage embodies power and elegance.

Critics unanimously praise its exceptional structure and aging potential. James Suckling (97 pts) heralds its “opulent depth,” noting polished tannins and impressive length. Jeb Dunnuck (96 pts) highlights its brooding complexity—think baked earth, cedar, and balsamic-laced black fruit—while Vinous (95 pts) reveals layered notes of olive-tinged plum, tanned leather, and vibrant minerality.

Why This Wine Stands Out:
– Aging Mastery: Requires cellaring until at least 2025 to unfurl its full spectrum of dried cherry, grilled porcini, and violet florals (Wine Enthusiast 95 pts).
– Terroir-Driven Nuance: Dual vineyard sourcing creates remarkable concentration balanced by refined acidity.
– Oak Integration: 24 months in French barrique impart subtle vanilla and coconut (Wine Advocate 94 pts), never overpowering the fruit.

With assertive yet velvety tannins and a 14.5% alcohol backbone, this full-bodied red evolves beautifully through 2040. Ideal for collectors seeking a modern, cellar-worthy Brunello di Montalcino that marries intensity with finesse.
