Tasting Notes

Discover the '7 Dynamic Brunello Crus.' A decade ago, Hayo Loacker's passion led him on a journey akin to Burgundy's vineyard classification at Corte Pavone, Montalcino. Through precise infrared sensing and dynamic micro-parcelling, seven unique Brunello vineyards emerged. Each harvest season, new measurements refine grape selection, optimizing the individuality of each vineyard. The 'Amenone al Sole Riserva 2015' boasts ruby hues, rich morello cherry scents, and a powerful yet elegant almond finish. Truly, the aristocrat of wines."

Reviews and Accolades

AWARDS & ACCOLADES

Falstaff

Powerful, dense ruby color. Intense nose with notes of pickled cherries and plums, a hint of forest raspberry, and delicate spice. Round and smooth on the attack, it opens up with grippy, hearty tannins, deep, rich fruit, paired with a touch of bittersweet chocolate on the finish.

Robert Parker

The Loacker 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Corte Pavone Anemone al Sole (an organic and biodynamic wine) is redolent of dark fruit and spice, although some aged aromas of licorice and cola are also slipped in for greater effect and power. The wine is tarry and smoky for sure. At the end of the day, this wine is a little too defined by the oak and alcohol at this stage, but it should hopefully soften with time in the bottle.

Corte Pavone

Close your eyes, then open them to the enchanting panorama of Tuscan, where a grand entrance gate beckons, a cypress avenue stretches endlessly, and the picturesque town of Montalcino unfolds before you Hayo Loacker's Tenuta Corte Pavone,. It's an unforgettable experience. Here, wine is not just tasted but felt, smelled, and seen in its most splendid form. The gates of Corte Pavone are open to you almost anytime. The wines from Corte Pavone in Montalcino are distinctive, elegant, and brimming with character. They predominantly showcase one grape variety: Sangiovese, 100%. Through meticulous measurements with advanced infrared sensors throughout Corte Pavone, Hayo has crafted a dynamic micro-parceling into distinct growth zones, defining seven unique layers of Brunello, known as the "7 DYNAMIC BRUNELLO CRUS." These crus are dynamic because the grape selection within each vineyard is finely tuned at harvest, guided by new measurements tailored to the vintage.
