Siro Pacenti Brunello style?

Just thinking about getting a few based on reviews, but can’t really divine whether they are new-wave, traditional, etc. Also how is the Pacenti Riserva?
Thanks.

What I’ve tried is clearly modernist, but he does make several bottlings, so I don’t know whether he’s like that across the board.

Thanks, I was thinking mostly about the PS, which is apparently a single-block Riserva.

I buy a lot of Brunello (even though a member as august as Ken V merely refers to it as expensive chianti), but I rarely buy riservas because I don’t think it’s too often that the extra year in wood really benefits the wine all that much. So to the best of my knowledge, I’ve never tried Pacenti’s riserva. But I do know that there are a lot of other producers I prefer.

I would say modernist but balanced and not grotesque. Good fruit, nice wine, but not “tar and flowers”

Second the motion.
Modernist, but in a good way to my taste.

I wasn’t inferring inferring inferior when I said modernist - I have plenty of wine from both sides of the fence, and I think they both work. But I don’t think anyone can place Pacenti on the traditionalist side of the scale (for whatever that placement might be worth in current-day Brunello).

Riservas don’t necessarily spend an extra year in wood. The DOCG Aging Requirements: Brunello di Montalcino (non-riserva) can be released on or after 1/1 of the 5th year after harvest with a minimum of 2 years in oak and 4 months in bottle. Brunello di Montalcino Riserva can be released on or after 1/1 of the 6th year after harvest with a minimum of 2 years in oak and 6 months in bottle. Also, some producers use large well seasoned casks that offer little or no oak influence. Many distinguish their riservas by grape selection.
