The evolution of a wine after it has been bottled depends on many factors, from the temperature to the storage position. In 1.5 liter magnum bottles, micro-oxygenation is favored — and, over time, aromas and flavors can be quite different compared to the same drink in a 750 ml bottle.
A good example is the 2012 vintage of Siro Pacenti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva PS DOCG, which the importer World Wine sells in Brazil for R$ 5,300. Although its producer, Giancarlo Pacenti, is one of the leaders of the current generation of innovative “brunellistas” who seek inspiration beyond Italian borders, this is a classic Brunello. It benefits from vineyards planted in two areas of Montalcino: one northeast of the city, where the grapes ripen more slowly; another, to the southwest, is warmer, which results in fruits with greater potency and minerality. The label got 96 points from Robert Parker and 95 from Wine Spectator.
