Corte Pavone Organic Rosso di Montalcino

Located in Tuscany, Corte Pavone extends for 16 hectares across the scenic Montalcino hillsides at an altitude of 500 m, the vineyards surrounded by fields and thick Mediterranean scrub. This unique landscape and climate along with the light, clayey soil contribute greatly to the wine's character. Rainer was an organic pioneer when he first started out, opting to use more natural treatments instead of pesticides on his vines. Gradually he made the transition to biodynamic farming. Today, Loacker only uses homeopathic treatments on their vines, and three years ago, a new bio-architectural cellar was constructed at the heart of the winery. This winery is part of the Italian Organic Wine Route. The Rosso di Montalcino is composed of 100% Sangiovese Grosso and has a dark ruby color. The bouquet has ethereal notes of violet, forest floor, licorice, plum, spice, and tobacco. Dry, medium-bodied, and persistent, with lively acidity and strong yet silky tannins. Long, pleasant finish. Pairs well with red meats, aged cheeses, and dishes drizzled with fresh olive oil. (from the vintner)
