Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is produced only in the best vintages and in limited quantity. This wine comes exclusively from "I Paganelli" vineyard, the oldest one in the estate, planted in 1964. Its vines, used as a clonal reference when planting new vineyards, produce high quality grapes which are picked by the individual selection of the best and ripest bunches. After the manual harvest, the must ferments at controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine spends a long time in large French oak casks and it is then aged in the bottle.

100% Sangiovese, the 2020 vintage is an intense ruby red, with an elegant nose featuring notes of red fruit, leather and spices; and a persistent, balanced flavour, with a long and seductive finish. This rich, full-bodied wine is enjoyable now but also has the potential to age gracefully for many years.  Winemaker Notes

95 Points - Falstaff

Dark, sparkling ruby red, shiny. Smells of dried red fruits and rosehips on the nose, with subtle hints of milk chocolate and mint, blood orange on the finish. With a supple attack, then becomes gripping in the course and shows beautiful grip, presses on the palate, great structure, slightly dusty finish.
