Siro Pacenti's Pelagrilli Brunello, named for the vineyard he planted in 1970, is a Sangiovese of clear lineage, now drawing from both his original south-slope holdings and the younger Piancornello site. Bright cherry and mineral spine, with the structure that defines Montalcino's best: this is serious wine that knows what it is.
Winemaker Notes
Pelagrilli is the name of the original vineyard purchased by Siro in 1970 as well as the name of the winery’s flagship Brunello. Originally made with only grapes from the Pelagrilli vineyard, it now includes grapes from both Pelagrilli and the newer Piancornello vineyard located in the southern part of the appellation. The winery only uses grapes from vines that are between 25-40 years old. The winery’s banner item, "Pelagrilli" receives delicate attention on the sorting table (in multiple tries) and in the cellar. Pelagrilli walks the razor’s edge between elegance and power with uncommon depth and complexity.
