Alcohol: 15%

What is it like? There are around 200 different producers of Brunello di Montalcino, even though all these Brunello are from 100% Sangiovese and within a planting area of only 1,200 hectares. 

The Brunello from Corte Pavone, as with other wines of the Loacker winery, is more to the subtle and refined style. Vintage 2009 is more aggressive than 2010 in tannins. Both have dark red fruits (think of very ripe dark cherries), sweet spices like cinnamon and cloves, and some cured meat aromas. On palate it is a smooth and round with good mouth feel. It will surely need to breathe so use a decanter, or open at least 2 hours ahead or even half a day. Serve at indoor temperature (around 20 degrees Celsius).
