Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vecchie Vigne by Siro Pacenti, ages for two years in French oak barrique and is completed with a period of aging in glass. It is structured, elegant and complex, and above all it represents the fruit of the absolute respect for the land and nature, which is combined to secular experiences and traditions. Intense garnet red and luminous to the eye. It presents an articulated and complex bouquet, enriched by ripe berries, morello cherries and raspberry jam, then also by tertiary notes of leather, liquorice, spices and a touch of wood. Warm and full in the mouth, it is muscular and powerful in the mouth, supported by a noble and refined tannic texture and marked by a long persistence.
From some of the best vineyards of the Pacenti estate comes the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Pelagrilli. It offers delicate nuances on the one hand and decisive and powerful characters on the other. It rests for two years in French oak barriques and is completed with a period of refinement in the bottle. It is a beautiful intense garnet red colour. Complex on the nose, with hints of ripe cherries, plums and sour cherries, which are enriched by precious tertiary tones, such as liquorice, tobacco and star anise. In the mouth, the tannins are well-chiselled and promise to sustain the wine for many years to come. The length is excellent and the finish is spicy and meaty.
The Tal Luc Passito wine from Lis Neris comes from vineyards on the estate that are over 25 years old.
The plots are situated on a gravelly plateau of calcareous matrix, characterised by poor and very draining soils, which naturally limit the yields. At the end of the harvesting operations, the most beautiful, healthy and ripe bunches of grapes are left to dry for a period of 120/130 days in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity, so as to favour the slow dehydration and concentration of sugars and aromas.
The grapes are pressed very softly and the dense, rich must is fermented in French oak barriques.
The wine matures, again in barriques, and completes its ageing with a long period in bottles before release.
Masciarelli's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Villa Gemma is the winery's iconic wine. It is a tribute to the great Abruzzo grape variety and its rich and intense charm. It is a version that can offer enthusiasts a high-level bottle, capable of competing with the great reds of Italy. In the glass, it is dark ruby red in colour, almost impenetrable. On the nose it offers broad, rich and intense aromas, with scents of ripe red fruit, blackberry, plum, berry jam, hints of humus and undergrowth, aromas of herbs, liquorice root, bitter cocoa and dark chocolate. The taste is powerful and structured, with an important tannic texture, well integrated with a dense and rich fruit, enhanced by elegant evolutionary notes. The finish is harmonious and very persistent.
The 2018 Nicolucci Predappio Vigna del Generale Riserva shows a transparent and brilliant ruby red colour. The nose plunges into a bed of voluptuous sensations that recall the undergrowth, through scents of raspberries, blueberries, wild cherries and sloes, among whiffs of ferns, sandalwood bark and cinchona. This is followed by dark tobacco, coffee and chocolate, a memory of black rye bread and hints of graphite and iron. Flexuosity is the key to understanding the taste, caressed by silky tannins and invigorating acidity. There is a long, pseudo-caloric sensation in the finish, reminiscent of red fruit chocolate. Matures 24 months in oak casks and 3 months in the bottle.

Wine obtained from vineyards about 30 years old with a planting density of 10,000 vines per hectare at an altitude of 400/600 metres above sea level. The yield per hectare is 30 hectolitres.
The land is not subjected to any kind of fertilisation, but is only treated with clay, propolis and grapefruit seed extract. The grapes are harvested in 40 separate parts.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 40hl steel tanks. Ageing takes place for 8 months in second, third and fourth passage French oak barriques and 10 months in cement.
The result is a complete, mouth-watering and authentic wine with an impressive drinking capacity. It is a pleasure to follow the interweaving of its notes and be seduced by its precise tannins, perhaps accompanying it with red meats.
