2017 | Conti Costanti | Rosso di Montalcino Vermiglio

The Costanti family has owned this 10 hectare estate for over 200 years. Andrea Costanti inherited it from his uncle in the mid-1980s, and has worked hard to take it to its current positon as one of the very best in Montalcino. The style is characterised by a striking elegance and intensity, combining the power of Montalcino with the elegance that comes from vineyards situated at a high altitude in the northern part of the zone. The 100% Sangiovese grapes for the `Vermiglio` Rosso di Montalcino come from Costanti`s estate in the Brunello appellation, just outside the town of Montalcino. The 2017 is wonderfully elegant, with alluring aromatics of spices, cherries and dark fruits, with good acidity and lovely soft tannins. On the palate it is savoury and intense with a hint of liquorice on the long, persistent finish.
