Corte Pavone is located in the Casanuova area of Montalcino 1,500 ft. above sea level, one of the loftiest positions in the zone.  Although the estate covers 225 acres, it is mostly meadows and forests.  Only 9.88 acres are dedicated to vineyards, with a plan of converting another 10 acres with the best exposure.  The entire winery is temperature controlled.  Corte Pavone is a unique estate insofar as it uses Slavonian casks, French Barrique and Austrian oak barrels to age its wines. In both the cultivation of the grapes and in the vinification process, natural and biological practices are adhered to, making Corte Pavone 100% organic.  Corte Pavone is owned by Rainer Loacker and his sons, Hajo and Stephano.  Hajo is the winemaker.  Mr. Loacker is a renowned personality in wine and food and in the holistic community.  His family owns Biscotti Loacker; Remedia Loacker which produces and markets enzymes and other natural nutrients, and Tenuta Schwarthof near Bolzano in Alto-Adige.
