but in 2000 the fruit has enough intensity to nearly cover the tannins

This has to be the best wine ever produced at Catena

Siro Pacenti, Brunello Montalcino Vecchie Vigne other_regions but in 2000 the fruitGiancarlo Pacentis 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is another superb wine. The contours are more modern and the fruit leans towards the darker end of spectrum, yet all the elements are wonderfully in balance. Surprisingly open and expressive for a young Brunello, the 2010 is sure to improve with a little more time in the bottle. All of the Pacenti signatures are in place, though, and the house style is unmistakable. Antonio Galloni
