Vintage: 2017
Score: 92/100
Tasting Notes:“Cherry and dried-berry aromas with some orange-peel undertones. Full-bodied with round, juicy tannins that are a little chewy. But it’s very rich and delicious. Better in a year or two. Try after 2024.”
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017
DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA
Vintage: 2017
Score: 93/100
Tasting Notes:“The Franco Pacenti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is a bit shy on first nose, and this might actually work in the wine's favor, especially in this hot vintage that almost needs to be subdued. The wine proceeds with smooth and soft intensity, imparting some ripe cherry flavors, dried currant and earthiness, and the delivery is clean and smooth all along. Production is 15,000 bottles.”
Jancis Robinson: BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2017

Vintage: 2017
Score: 16+/20
Tasting Notes: "Mid ruby. Focused, pure cherry nose with a peppery tingle and concentrated cherry fruit on the nose. Plenty of cherry fruit on the palate and completely dry and with firm tannins. I would give this more time in bottle. (WS)"

Tasting Notes:”Below the town of Montalcino in Canalicchio, Franco Pacenti’s vineyards extend over 10 hectares on predominantly clay soil. It's an area that once struggled to ripen Sangiovese but in the hot, dry conditions of 2017, the estate’s Brunello fared well. Up front in violet, lavender, thyme and liquorice root, it is fragrant and compelling, while succulent red plum fills the mouth and is hemmed in by dry - though not drying - tannins. There's a lot to like here. Drinking Window 2023 - 2029."
