In 2003 the harvest at Costanti took place starting the 10th of September, rather than during the more customary end of September- early October time frame. The high altitude of the vineyards (400-450 meters), once an obstacle to achieving full ripeness, has become a valuable asset in preserving freshness in the wines, particularly in hot years. Unfortunately, I was not able to taste the 2006 Rossos as Costanti didn't think they were ready to be evaluated.

This tiny property is owned by Andrea Costanti, who is best known for the wines he produces at his family's estate. The winemaking philosophy are similar to those employed at Costanti but so far the wines have shown a more linear expression of Sangiovese.
