Siro Pacenti 2006 Riserva (Brunello di Montalcino)

Country: Italy / Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese Grosso Tuscany
Winery: Siro Pacenti / Brunello di Montalcino

Not an obvious wine by any stretch, this riserva opens slowly and bashfully to deliver small pulses of cherry, chocolate and smoked bacon that build in intensity and power as the wine gains momentum in the glass. The tannins are present but are soft and firm without any bitter astringency. Age 10 years or more.
