Winemaker Notes

As its name suggests, Vecchie Vigne arises from the historic sections of the Pelagrilli and Piancornello vineyards. It is sourced from vines aged 40-60 years in both the Pelagrilli vineyard and the Piancornello vineyard in Montalcino’s southeast. Berries are selected in multiple passes, before and after destemming, through an optical sorter. The wine is aged in custom-made French barriques for 24 months followed by two months in concrete and a final 22 months matured in the bottle. Vecchie Vigne is precise, pronounced, dense, and balanced, this is convincing old-vine Sangiovese.

98 James Suckling

Black cherry, black licorice, graphite, violet and lavender aromas follow through to a full body with a compact center palate and chewy yet very integrated tannins that give drive and great length. Muscular and agile in the finish. Try after 2029.

98 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Vecchievigne, as expected, takes a deeper, more matte shade of red and is going to require some patience.

It’s long on the palate, with a spiced and mouthwatering finish with a char

97 Vinous

Fresh as a daisy, the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne shows no fear of decline as notes of tobacco and dried roses combine with balsamic-laced black cherries and a dusting of spice. It feels wonderfully elegant and polished, with sleek red berry fruits underscored by crisp mineral tones and a hint of citrus, all guided by vibrant acidity. The wine is long and staining yet remarkably fres

95 Wine Advocate

The Siro Pacenti 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne offers greater concentration and oak spice, presenting a dark and richly layered profile with generous tannins well suited to the character of the warm vintage. Aged in barrique, the wine is built from an intriguing blend of fruit, with half drawn from mineral-rich rocky soils at 150 meters in elevation in the southern sector and half from

95 Wine Spectator

A darker expression of the vintage, this red sports black cherry, blackberry, iron, tar and tobacco aromas and flavors. Dense and muscular, yet with vibrant acidity that keeps this long and focused. The tannins are resonant, and the lasting impression is of sweet fruit. Best from 2026 through 2042. 1,700 cases made, 480 cases imported.
