About the Wine: Conti Costanti is one of Montalcino's historic benchmark estates, known for Brunello that carries power with real elegance. The 2020 vintage is a richer, more concentrated expression, but the wine still has the acidity and savory detail that keep it classic.

Tasting Notes: Dark cherry, plum, violet, cedar, eucalyptus, licorice, rosemary, dried orange, and earthy spice. Full and structured, with firm tannins, lively acidity, and a long, savory finish.

Serving Suggestion: Pair with grilled steak, lamb, wild boar ragu, mushroom pasta, or aged Tuscan cheeses. Decant for 45 to 60 minutes if opening now.

Varietal: Sangiovese Grosso.
