Gardini Notes: 97 Points
Vines of 25 years old a protocol aimed at preserving the taste freshness a Brunello of incisive juiciness and tension. Wild plum hints of wild mint and gardenia on the nose. In the mouth balsamic density and appeal with fruity and floral memories. -Luca Gardini
James Suckling: 96 Points
A round and juicy red with berry cherry mushroom and wet-earth character on both the nose and palate. It?s full-bodied with integrated tannins that are soft and luscious. Long flavorful finish. Drinkable now but better in two or three years.
Vinous: 94+ Points
Plum sauce and sage combine with crushed black cherries and balsamic spice to create a darkly seductive bouquet as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli comes to life in the glass. It's silken in feel with cool-toned acidity and racy wild berry fruits that flow across the palate with ease. Incredibly long and expertly balanced the 2020 leaves hints of black raspberry and sour cherry pits over a layer of sweet tannins. Patience will be required but also rewarded. - By Eric Guido on November 2023
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Showing an especially bold bouquet and rich concentration the Siro Pacenti 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Pelagrilli is a big expression of Sangiovese by all means but the wine is also balanced. The intensity is played up with aromas of baked fruit toasted spice sweet herb and grilled rosemary and there is a hint of redwood and cedar or barbecue smoke. To the palate the wine is very round and fleshed out. It covers all corners of the mouth. This is a big-boned wine with powdery young tannins and a velvety finish. Aging takes place in French barrique which has always been the stylistic choice favored by this estate. Production is 26000 bottles. Reviewed by: Monica Larner
