Reviews and Ratings

Corte Pavone 2012 is produced from organically-grown Sangiovese wine grapes. Dark and smoky with ripe black fruit, earthy florals, savoury herb, bitter chocolate flavours and toasty oak spice on the palate. This Brunello is unfiltered. Tannins are firm and chewy giving good structure to this concentrated, full-bodied red. Pair with a roast venison. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
