Conti Costanti Vermiglio 2014

Conti Costanti Vermiglio 2014 is a beautifully elegant, almost Burgundian expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most respected names. Made only in selected vintages from declassified Brunello fruit, it offers the finesse and character of the estate in a more approachable style, with a historical connection to the long tradition of classic Tuscan winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Vermiglio shows a refined, translucent ruby-red color that hints at its lighter, more graceful profile. The nose is layered with fresh strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, lifted by forest floor, subtle chocolate, and a touch of vanilla from its time in large, older oak casks. On the palate, it is vibrant and finely textured, with bright red fruit, savory earthiness, and polished tannins that keep everything poised and focused. Compared with Brunello, it is more immediate and lithe, but still has depth and structure; it should also develop gracefully over the next several years, gaining more nuance and complexity.

Production
The wine comes from high-altitude vineyards east of Montalcino, where cooler conditions help preserve freshness, aromatics, and elegance in the Sangiovese. It is produced only in selected years from declassified Brunello fruit and aged for one year less than Brunello, in large, used oak casks, which allows the wine to retain a lighter, more precise expression of the grape and terroir.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roasted poultry, mushroom dishes, truffle pasta, grilled veal, or classic Tuscan cuisine such as pappardelle with wild boar. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant of 30–60 minutes if the wine is still youthful, to open up its aromatic complexity.

Producer
Conti Costanti is one of the historic estates of Montalcino, with a long-standing reputation for producing some of the region’s most classic and refined Brunelli. Andrea Costanti is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers in the appellation, with a consistent track record of top-rated wines and an especially admired Rosso di Montalcino, making the estate a reference point for elegance and tradition in Tuscany.
