Tasting notes
Bright crimson. Intense nose, sweet and scented. Pretty full on with some dry tannins (thick-skinned grapes?). I’d go for the Rosso 2016 in preference! A bit hot on the end. (JR)

Concentrated but holding back a little on the nose. Fluid and concentrated at the same time and with a tangy, tannic finish. (WS)
Siro Pacenti's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli offers a terrific package of intensity, freshness, firmness and complexity. It delivers generously on all fronts. The bouquet peels back to reveal wild cherry, rose hip, dried herb and toasted almond. The fruit tastes less ripe here (compared to wines from the southern parts of the appellation), and you do feel that acidic pinch on the close. This wine should flesh out and grow in volume with a few more years of bottle aging.
Concentrated and quite deep ruby! A nose packed with cherry. Generous mouthful of fruit and richly tannic too. Rustic, long and direct. (WS) (JR)
