Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino 2020

Starting 1983, Andrea Costanti took over and inherited a large part of the few distinguished labels of quality in Montalcino at the time. As the years went by, he has developed an aromatic variety of the wines as much as he could. This in return has rewarded him with richer aromas even with extreme ranges in temperature.

The 2020 Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino is a compelling expression of Sangiovese grown on high-altitude galestro soils in Montalcino. Crafted with precision, the wine undergoes fermentation with extended skin contact, followed by aging in a combination of Allier tonneaux and large Slavonian oak casks, then further refined in bottle before release. It opens with fragrant notes of iris, violet, and wild cherry, layered with hints of raspberry compote, licorice, rosemary, and truffle. On the palate, the wine is both powerful and elegant, supported by velvety tannins, bright acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish. Aged to enhance both structure and finesse, this Brunello showcases depth, freshness, and aging potential.
