750 mlRobertParker.com Tasting Note (2017 Vintage)
93 Points - Reviewed by Monica Larner - "The Conti Costanti 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is nicely layered and concentrated, with an immediate delivery of black fruit, spice and potting soil. This vintage shows a savory personality more than it shows a sweet one, and the tannins are quite soft and velvety. This is an open-knit Brunello from a hot and dry vintage to drink in the medium-term."

Castell’in Villa is one of the most historic estates in Chianti Classico. Princess Coralia Pignatelli della Leonessa and her husband found the property in 1967 and purchased it the following year. Initially, Princess Coralia and her husband thought they would make wine for fun. Her father, a Greek aristocrat, demurred at the thought of his daughter becoming a peasant. At the time, there was just one hectare under vine, but planting began in earnest in 1968 following the suggestions of the Chianti Classico Consorzio, which included the white grapes that ended up being used for the first vintages.

The highly regarded Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino is created with traditional and modern techniques. For instance: Temperature controlled stainless steel tanks are used in making the wine, as well as larger french oak casks. However, more historically used giant Slavonian oak casks are still employed for marrying and maturing a portion of the wine. The result is a complex bottle that drinks well upon release but can easily cellar, typically offering silky tannins, dark fruit and enticing floral notes consistently across vintages.
Pair with a hearty stew or pasta dish, aged Parmigiano or Gouda cheese, or lamb roast.
