Savour the elegance of Tuscany with Costanti's Brunello di Montalcino 2019. A Sangiovese masterpiece showcasing the complexity and depth of Montalcino's terroir.
Conti Costanti is a historic Montalcino estate located on the south-eastern side of the famous hill, with splendid vineyards grown in a very ventilated area, at an altitude between 300 and 450 meters above sea level, on stony and rich in marl.
MONTALCINO HISTORY: Though Montalcino almost certainly had Etruscan roots, the first historical mention of the place dates back to 814, in a decree emanated by Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Pious that awarded the lands sub Monte Licini (‘under Mount Licini’) to the abbot of Sant’Antimo. The current settlement was founded in the tenth century. By the 14th, under the dominion of Siena, it had become a thriving walled town famous for its leather curing workshops. In 1555, it welcomed six hundred Sienese families who had fled from their city after its capture by Florence and the Medicis, and managed to hold out as “The Sienese Republic of Montalcino” for another four years. Subsequently, until well after the Second World War, the town was a small dot on the map of Tuscany, part of a feudal agricultural district whose inhabitants were often desperately poor. Viticulture had arrived on the scene midway through the 19th century, but it was for many years a marginal part of the local economy, the realm of a small group of local landowners and wine enthusiasts.
