About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from a 1.5-hectare vineyard in northern Montalcino, planted by Siro Pacenti in the early 1970s. All vineyard work is carried out by hand.

Vinification

Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks. The wine is bottled without filtration, so natural sediment may occasionally form.

Ageing

The wine matures for 24 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, followed by a further 12 months in bottle.

Tasting profile

The 2015 has notable purity and depth. It is concentrated, balanced, rich and aromatic, combining elegance with complexity and a distinct sense of place.

Serving and pairing

Decant before serving.
