Process & Profile

Costanti’s Brunello di Montalcino is a classic expression from one of the appellation’s most storied producers. Crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grown in high-altitude vineyards surrounding Montalcino, the wine is vinified using traditional methods, including fermentation with native yeasts and long maceration. Aging takes place in large Slavonian oak casks for over three years, followed by extended bottle refinement, ensuring a harmonious balance of fruit, tannin, and acidity.
