Tasting Notes
"Luminous pale red. Extremely floral, perfumed nose speaks of violet, lily of the valley, rose, plus sour red cherry and cranberry cocktail. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, with outstanding mineral lift to the fresh strawberry, red cherry and lime flavors. The mouthfeel is firm but not hard-edged, and the finish is very precise and refreshing, with tingling mouthwatering zingy acidity providing outstanding clarity and cut on the long evocative finish. A beautiful wine that is an essence of Sangiovese and one of the vintage’s five best Brunellos.".

The Producer
Franco Pacenti
The Franco Pacenti winery is situated at the base of Montalcino Hill, on its northeastern slope, in the Canalicchio basin – a classic and historically significant region, well-regarded for its wine-making qualities. Established in the 1960s by Rosildo, the patriarch of the family, the winery remains under the stewardship of the Pacenti family, now led by Franco Pacenti and his children Lisa, Serena, and Lorenzo – the third generation of a family that takes immense pride in its heritage while simultaneously embracing the future, never losing sight of its core values and traditions.
The estate encompasses a total area of 36 hectares, with 10 hectares dedicated to vineyards. The sole grape variety cultivated here is Sangiovese, which serves as the basis for producing the Rosso di Montalcino DOC, the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, and the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva. These wines are characterized as both elegant and robust, reflecting the perfect blend of traditional wisdom and modern technology, serving as an authentic expression of the land and the people dedicated to its cultivation.
