Tasting Notes

Vinous Eric Guido - 01 Jan 25
Dusty and understated in the glass, the 2004 Brunello di Montalcino entices with a delicate blend of spiced citrus rinds, blackberries and hints of mint. It impresses most with its purely silken and enveloping textures, featuring mineral-tinged red and black fruits that take on a nervous citrusy energy toward the close. The finish reveals a bit of maturity with a suggestion of brown spice yet remains fresh as a bump of residual acidity cleanses the senses. If you have any questions about the ageability of Siro Pacenti's wines, take note.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
