Corte dei Venti Brunello di Montalcino is truly an off-the-beaten-path wine. The wine industry overuses this term.

Tucked away on a long and curvy dirty road, the vineyards are in the heroic south of Montalcino with the red lands. Brunello di Montalcino, terroir-driven, exposes the flavors, scents, and tastes of this part of Tuscany.
The 2017 has a Full body, rich and ripe cherry, drying red roses, sweet spices, black truffle, and a mineral finish. It's very concentrated, decisive and well balanced. The 2017 has achieved above the average results for what some say is a mediocre vintage in general. But those who say 2017 was a good year, but maybe not the best year, have not tasted Corte dei Venti Brunello!
