The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers plenty of dark fruit and spice, but the wine also shows slightly more austerity that could set it up for a roast pork or ham. There is a drying oak note of smoked cedar or redwood that dovetails into the structural impact of the wine. Yet it also shows very good momentum on the mid-palate, adding more layers or black fruit that soften the tannins.
Conti Costanti has all its Brunello vines in the Colle al Matrichese area with schistic galestro clay soils and high elevations (from 433 to 471 meters above sea level). The winery is 100% organic and a new fermentation area was recently inaugurated.

The land covers 25 hectares, divided into 12 ha of vineyards, 4 ha of olive groves and the rest is fallow land and woodland. The vineyards are at an altitde of 310-400m. above sea level, and for these great care has gone into selecting the optional exposure. The vines are Sangiovese known locally as Brunello and range from 6 to 25 years old. Three hectares have recently been planted with Merlot and Cabernet. The land is very poor organically though rich in lithoid components. Geologically it is galestro from cretacic era.
