The 2018 Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino is a true expression of the Sangiovese grape, hailing from the renowned region of Tuscany, Italy. This red wine exudes elegance and finesse with its pale red hue, a departure from the darker Rossos typically produced by Pacenti. Upon pouring a glass, one is greeted by inviting floral notes of rose and violet, harmoniously intertwined with aromas of ripe strawberries, red cherries, and subtle hints of flint and herbs.
On the palate, this Rosso di Montalcino reveals a vibrant and juicy character, with a steely quality enhancing the red fruit and herb flavors. The wine is uplifted by a strong peppery component that lingers on the long, lively, and youthfully chewy finish. Crafted from 15-year-old Sangiovese vines and aged in 25% new oak for 12-3 months, this wine showcases a perfect balance of fruit-forwardness and spiciness.
Accompanied by a score of 92 from Vinous, this Siro Pacenti Rosso di Montalcino is a truly lovely and captivating wine that will surely delight the senses. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, this red gem is a testament to the exceptional winemaking prowess of Siro Pacenti. Cheers to a remarkable wine experience!
