The range has the unmistakable imprint of the Matrichese cru yielding Brunellos of unparalleled elegance and complexity with luscious focused berry fruit remarkable structure and exquisite balance. Ardingo is made from 70% Merlot and 30% Sangiovese. The Merlot vineyard – Vigna Montosoli – which was planted about 30 years ago is just 7 kilometers away from Costanti’s main vineyards in upper Montalcino and is 350 meters above sea level just a bit lower than Costanti’s other vineyards. The vineyard is located north/northeast of Montalcino on the Montosoli hill and enjoys western exposure and clay soil. The Sangiovese comes from a vineyard Andrea owns on the same hill. The wine is named for Ardengo della Gherardesca (seen written ‘Ardingo’ in some places) who was a valiant knight from the Longobard family of the same name who fought the Florentines alongside the Sienese 800 years ago. Perfect for this powerful wine.
