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."
