The estate is predominantly known for its range of Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Rosso di Montalcino wines although its portfolio also includes two Grappa di Brunellos. The Costanti family has a long and storied history in the region. It was involved in the formation of the Republic of Siena in 1555, and became a key presence in the area. The Costantis rose to winemaking prominence in the 19th Century when Tito Costanti was one of the first to make wines using the name \"Brunello\". Today, the winery is presided over by Andrea Costanti, who took over the family-owned business in 1983. The Conti Costanti estate spans 25 hectares (62 acres) of land, with 12 hectares (30 acres) planted to vine. The majority of the vineyard is planted to Sangiovese, with vines varying in age from six to 25 years old. These vines have been further supplemented with a small three-hectare (seven-acre) plot planted to Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are typically harvested in early October and fermented on their skins in stainless steel vats for up to three weeks, depending on the vintage. The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and Brunello di Montalcino Riserva wines are aged for 18 months in tonneaux, and then a further 18 months in Slavonian oak casks before spending a year in bottle before release. The Rosso sees just 12 months in younger Allier oak barriques. The Brunello Riserva is only made in the best years and can be cellared for many years. Conti Costanti employs the services of veteran Italian consultant oenologist, Vittorio Fiore.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-10-11T13:11:31-04:00","created_at":"2023-10-09T15:34:39-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","Other_Wine","Producer_Conti Costanti","Region_Tuscany","RK0810","Source_WineOnlineDelivery1023","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":71900,"price_min":71900,"price_max":71900,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43854271774858,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2015 | Conti Costanti | Calbello Ardingo","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":71900,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_50ee1773-e13f-4bdb-8600-15ce3870bbac.jpg?v=1696880145"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_50ee1773-e13f-4bdb-8600-15ce3870bbac.jpg?v=1696880145","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2015 | Conti Costanti | Calbello Ardingo at CaskCartel.com","id":25264162275466,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.282,"height":411,"width":116,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_50ee1773-e13f-4bdb-8600-15ce3870bbac.jpg?v=1696880145"},"aspect_ratio":0.282,"height":411,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/33_50ee1773-e13f-4bdb-8600-15ce3870bbac.jpg?v=1696880145","width":116}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2015 | Conti Costanti | Calbello Ardingo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is an explosion of delicate flavors, nice and delightful mouthfeel.
