Franco Pacenti -Loc. Canalicchio di Sopra, 6-53024 Montalcino (SI)
Known as the 'younger brother' of Brunello, Rosso di Montalcino DOC expresses an identity strongly linked to its terroir. The one proposed here by Franco Pacenti, in particular, is a young and intriguing wine that combines fine structure with a natural vivacity and great freshness. Thanks to its drinkability and the harmony of all its components, this Tuscan red reveals a pleasant fragrance from the very first sip. Obviously a pure Sangiovese, it is vinified in steel at a controlled temperature, with frequent pumping over and délestage, followed by a medium/long maceration on the skins. After racking, the wine then matures in wood for over 6 months, in large Slavonian and French oak casks. Finally, after bottling, the wine continues its ageing in glass for a few months before being put on the market. On the table, this Rosso di Montalcino goes well with classic Tuscan first courses and country soups.
The Franco Pacenti winery is located at the foot of the Montalcino hill, on the north-eastern slope, in the basin called Canalicchio, a classic and historic area. Founded in the 1960s by his father Rosildo, the winery is still run by the family. Today, Franco is at the helm of the winery, assisted by his children Lisa, Serena and Lorenzo, the third generation of the family. A total of 36 hectares, of which 10 are vineyards, the only vine cultivated is Sangiovese, from which Rosso di Montalcino DOC, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva are produced.
