The 97-point 2020 Brunello di Montalcino from Franco Pacenti opens with vibrant aromas of ripe cherries, wild berries, and subtle floral hints layered over earthy moss and alpine herbs.
On the palate, it delivers concentrated fruit and succulent, refined tannins balanced by brisk acidity and a touch of spice, echoing the vintage’s signature freshness and finesse. This structured yet approachable wine shows excellent tension and aging potential, with a bright, juicy core reminiscent of top Biondi-Santi expressions. Medium-bodied and elegantly persistent, it unfolds into a saline, sour-cherry finish. Decant for an hour and pair with grilled ribeye or wild mushroom risotto.
