Pacentis Brunello Vecchie Vigne radiates with attractive aromas of black berries, dark cherries and coffee. Extremely delicious and very elegant in flavour with silky tannins and considerable length. Siro Pacenti is one of the most historic houses in the region and it is precisely with this solid expression that Vecchie Vigne enchants the senses. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne shows more oak definition, texture and overall fruity richness, benefiting from the concentration and complexity you get with old vines. The wine coats the palate with lush flavours of dried cherries, exotic spices, pressed roses and scorched earth. This is a wine for the cellar. The bouquet has a lot to offer, but it will need some time. All the elements are there for excellent ageing." Wine Advocate

"The nose is decadent but not over the top with plum liqueur, Christmas cake, cedar, Chinese spices, liquorice, tea leaves, tar and hot stones. Full and very dense with mouth-coating tannins, but also attractive fresh fruit, beautiful acidity and a long finish. Rather viscous and needs time, but a fine successor to the 2012." James Suckling

"Forest floor, toasted oak, dark spices, new leather and tobacco flavours fill the glass along with a hint of eucalyptus. The firmly structured, concentrated palate shows power and finesse, offering dried black cherry, star anise, coffee bean and grilled sage alongside fresh acidity and tightly knit tannins. It is still youthfully tart and will benefit from a few more years in the cellar." Wine Enthusiast

"It is bright and full of cherry, blackcurrant and berry flavours, but also has a tannic note as well as hints of tobacco and undergrowth. The two camps need to reach a kind of relaxed state before this wine really sings." Wine Spectator

"This sensual, seductive wine from two different sites, one in the north and one in the south of the region, has a fleshiness and textural richness that is a welcome change from the almost angular sophistication of some of its peers. The sweet fruits have a soft, almost milky or creamy aromatic lustre, like glove leather. On the palate, these fruits are more structured and firm: plum and pomegranate, with noticeable cut and shape, fresh and springy tannins and a generous, balanced dryness." Decanter

"The 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is remarkably pretty, with a bright bouquet of rose petals, ground clove, dusty earth and wild strawberry. It is round and soothingly soft-textured, with a wave of saline minerals to balance as brisk acidity excites its tart wild berry fruit. This wine reverberates with zesty tension, long and intense, with edgy tannins and a saturation of primary concentration that lingers. The future is very bright, as the 2013 is just starting to come out of its shell." Vinous
