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

Sangiovese grapes have been grown in their native Italy and several other countries for a very long time now, with many experts claiming that they were even enjoyed by the ancient Etruscan civilization, long before the spread of the Roman Empire which helped raise the profile of this dark colored and flavorful varietal. It isn't difficult to understand their enduring appeal – the Sangiovese grape varietal delivers wines which are the epitome of finery, soaking up delicate and complex oak and vanilla flavors from the barrels they are aged in, or leaving light, refreshing strawberry notes on the tongue when drank young. Whilst many traditional wineries prefer to use these acidic grapes for single variety wines, many have experimented with blending them with other fine varietals in order to balance out their combination of high acidity and light body. The results have often been truly special, and Sangiovese continues to impress today as much as it did centuries ago.

Region: Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
