Goedhuis Waddesdon, February 2025
A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Sangiovese, Amor Costante comes from the family’s Podernovone vineyard in southeast Montalcino. High-toned red cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavours are softened by hints of juicy red and black plum, peppered with clove and star anise. The palate is plush, rewarding, juicy and opulent. Foodwise, you can enjoy this with literally anything.
Region
Montalcino
Located southwest of Chianti, Montalcino came into its own in the late 1880s when local producer,Biondi-Santi, discovered a Sangiovese clone in his vineyard that was darker in colour than the rest. Its colour, however, was not its only attribute. It produced a wine with notable body, structure and length. He named it ‘brunello' meaning little dark one. This grape's genetic properties along with Montalcino's relatively temperate climate combine to create a wine stylistically different to that of more northerly Chianti. They are usually released approximately 5 years after the vintage following 2 to 4 years ageing in wood. The denomination of Riserva indicates a wine usually produced with more concentrated grapes than the traditional cuvéeand requires a minimum of one additional year of ageing.Today, Montalcino has become one of the most sought after appellations in the Tuscan region.
