In the 2017 vintage, Corte Pavone of the Loacker family, renowned for producing exceptional Brunello di Montalcino, has crafted yet another outstanding wine. This Brunello is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown at nearly 600 meters above sea level, placing it among the highest vineyards in Tuscany. The combination of warm daytime temperatures, cool nights, and mineral-rich clay soils creates optimal conditions for grape ripening.

This dreamy Brunello displays an intense dark red hue and entices the senses with aromas of red berries, cherries, chocolate, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and complex, showcasing an excellent balance between fruit, acidity, and tannins. Extended ageing in barriques and large wooden barrels imparts elegant woody nuances and a delightful spiciness.

With its remarkable ageing potential of 15 years or more, this wine will continue to evolve, revealing ever greater aromatic complexity over time. It is unquestionably a top-tier wine that every Brunello enthusiast should experience.
