The 1989 vintage from this area is characterized by a classic style and achieved a score of 85 points. Tuscany itself is an iconic Italian wine region with winemaking roots dating back to the Etruscans, known for its rolling hills and deep viticultural traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMontalcino is located about 40 kilometers south of Siena, forming a zone naturally bounded by the Ombrone, Asso, and Orcia rivers. The vineyards are situated at varying altitudes ranging from 120 to over 600 meters above sea level, creating a multitude of microclimates across the municipality. The area benefits from a Mediterranean climate that is generally warmer and drier than northern Tuscany, while Mount Amiata to the south shields the vines from harsh weather. The soil composition is highly varied; the northern part is defined by a limestone-rich marl locally known as galestro, whereas the lower and more southern areas contain higher concentrations of clay and sandstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is crafted exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso, a prominent Italian grape variety that is locally referred to as Brunello. While Sangiovese is widely cultivated across regions like Tuscany, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, and even California, it is the undisputed primary grape of this area. According to the producer, the wine is made from grapes grown within the municipality and is aged in oak barrels, reflecting the traditional production methods of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Conte Ottavio Piccolomini d'Aragona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56821783134534,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-146_fe13f96d-662c-47e8-8a08-f687f0682ea9.jpg?v=1781872246","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.eu\/products\/rosso-di-montalcino-conti-costanti-1989","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
