Only produced in exceptional vintages, the 2019 Siro Pacenti "PS" Riserva is the absolute pinnacle of high-elevation Montalcino terroir and the ultimate cellar trophy. Sourced exclusively from a single plot of vines planted in the late 1950s at Pelagrilli, this micro-production release yielded a mere 1,800 bottles—just 300 six-packs for the entire world. Siro Pacenti Brunellos are the wine world's equivalent of an Italian sports car: engineered with precision, roaring with muscular power, and tuned to perfection by winemaker Giancarlo Pacenti. Backed by stellar critical acclaim, including pristine scores hovering up to 98–100 points, this benchmark Riserva is the centerpiece collectors dream of securing before it disappears.

Expect a glass bursting with dark, expressive intensity: upfront crushed black cherry, wild blackberries, and plum, wrapped in complex accents of dried sage, tobacco leaf, cocoa, and slate-like minerality. On the palate, the power of 70-year-old vines meets seamless polish. Custom French oak barrique aging lends a silken, broad texture that glides over fine-grained tannins, balanced by a vibrant streak of mouthwatering acidity that keeps the massive core fresh and sculpted.

Since no other "PS" Riserva will be released until the 2022 vintage (arriving in 2028), this 2019 allocation stands as a rare, solitary opportunity. If you seek the absolute elite of Italian winemaking to anchor your cellar for the next two decades, claim your bottles now.

Molte Grazie!

"Dark and complex, showing intense graphite minerality on the nose allied to lush blood-orange character, raspberries and violets. The oak is judicious. Precise on the palate with a supple attack, full body and a juicy yet integrated acidity. The broad, extracted tannins are dense and ripe all the way to the citrusy finish. Needs three to five years to open and come together."

“Deep, dark ruby purple colour. Fragrant and complex nose, profound, of blackberries, mint, with subtle hints of dried rose petals. Accentuated on the palate by the use of wood, but with great juiciness and saltiness, with a lot of texture, a lot of tannin in the back, which remains slightly rough. Put away and enjoy fully in a few years.”

"The Siro Pacenti 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS opens to an inky black appearance. The bouquet is very intense with baritone aromas of syrupy blackberry, barbecue spice, sweet cedar, toasted wood, baked fruit and savory tobacco. To the palate, it shows a rich, glossy finish with firm tannins and a tightly knit texture that should bode well for future cellaring. In fact, the mouthfeel is so intensely stitched together, it's to the point of feeling polished. I must hand it to vintner Giancarlo Pacenti for the elegance of the mouthfeel on this very, very bold Riserva."

"Mentholated herbs mix with exotic spice, tobacco and crushed ashen stones as the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS blossoms in the glass. This is sleek and youthfully slender, with tart wild berry fruits and hints of sour citrus that flow across a stream of cooling acidity. It finishes structured and impossibly long, leaving a pleasantly tart cranberry concentration that pinches at the cheeks. There's significantly more energy and verve embodied in the 2019 Riserva than is typical. It should be fascinating to watch it mature over time."
