A tempting nose with minerals and flowers on top of the spiced dark cherries, together with some mussels, minerals and a hint of iodine. Full-bodied, tight and juicy with a mineral palate. Very elegant, yet fruit-expressive. Lots of cherries in the long, pristine finish. Drink or hold.

Rated 92 by Decanter
Fiore del Vento hails from a particularly stony, calcareous site at 450 to 500 metres above sea level. Of Corte Pavone’s three cru offerings in 2017, it seems to be the most expressive of site rather than winemaking. The nose is discreet at first with a whiff of cedar forest. Captivating truffle, dusty earth and lavender scents join in. Exuberant and plentiful in fruit, it sports ripe and robust tannins that cling to the palate. The generous 15% alcohol is absorbed into its layers and mineral notes linger persistently.
Winery
Bright ruby red with garnet rim. The nose is very intense and rich–luscious aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, with a bit of cocoa in the background. Full and round at first taste; mid-palate it opens up, showing aromas of dark berries, intense fruit, and a lot of velvety tannins. Complex wine with long and full finish.

Varietal: Sangiovese

Wines made with the round, darkly colored Sangiovese grape varietal tend to demonstrate the grape's key attributes: high acidity, moderate tannins and pale red color These grapes have been grown in their native Italy for thousands of years, and are said to be one of the key varietals which were so loved by the ancient Etruscan and Roman civilization Fast forward a few millennia, and all over the world, wineries are still growing these grapes in order to capture that renowned and flavorful essence. What makes Sangiovese so loved by drinkers and vintners alike is its wonderful ability to soak up the earthy, woody flavors of the oak barrels they are aged in, and present these in the glass alongside fresh, bright summer fruit notes. Whilst Sangiovese grapes are often blended during the fermentation process, they are also drank as single variety wines, both young and fresh, and aged and complex.

Region: Tuscany

The beautiful region of Tuscany has been associated with wine production for almost three thousand years, and as such is one of the oldest and most highly respected wine producing regions in the world. The hot, sunny climate supports quite a wide range of grapes, but the grape varietals most widely grown across this large region are Sangiovese and Vernaccia, both of which are used in the production of Tuscany's most distinctive red and white wines. Cabernet Sauvignon and other imported grape varietals have also flourished there for over two hundred years, but it wasn't until the 1970's and the rise of the 'Super Tuscans' that they were widely used, when the fine wineries of the region began experimenting with Bordeaux style red wines to great effect.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
