1987 Costanti Brunello Montalcino

一支有骨有韻的老年份 Brunello，皮革與煙草伴隨乾果味，喝得到歷史感。

【為什麼選它？】
1) 老年份故事感 -> 每一口都有層次，適合收藏與特別時刻。
2) 經典莊園工藝 -> 長期在大桶熟成，結構穩健，食物搭配更無懈可擊。
3) 立即可飲 -> 現在開瓶就有成熟風味，不用再等。

【侍酒師私房筆記】打開瓶塞會先聞到乾果、雪松和一層柔和煙草味，入口先是乾梅與微酸的活力，隨即轉為皮革、香料和森林土壤氣息。雖然年份久，但酸度仍然明亮，單寧已柔化，口腔有沉穩的結構感——適合慢慢品、邊談邊吃。

【田地與釀造】Conti Costanti 位於 Montalcino 的傳統莊園，老株、低產造成就了濃縮但純淨的風格。釀酒走傳統路線：長時間在大木桶熟成，之後瓶陳，讓果味自然轉化出複雜的陳年香。

【場景化配餐指南】週末家宴配一大塊烤牛肉或慢燉牛膝，或與陳年硬芝士共嚐；香港的小聚，配上紅燒或燒味也很對味。

【降維打擊對比】比起當今炒作的高價酒款，這支能以更合理價格給你真正的陳年體驗——有歷史、有結構，沒有花巧的包裝話術。

A silk-and-iron Brunello: mature tertiary elegance with the backbone to last.

【Why choose it?】
1) Rare vintage character -> a museum-like bottle that tells a story in every sip.
2) Classic Montalcino structure -> delivers savory complexity that elevates rich meals.
3) Matured gracefully -> ready to drink now with immediate reward for collectors and diners.

【Winemaker & Vineyard Notes】From Conti Costanti, a traditional estate in Montalcino known for restrained, classically aged wines. This 1987 spent extended maturation in large casks before long bottle ageing, allowing primary fruit to evolve into layered leather, tobacco and dried fruit notes while keeping a precise mineral frame. Vineyard exposures on mature vines and low yields contributed to concentrated, age-worthy phenolics.

【Sommelier's Private Note】On the nose: tobacco, cedar and a patina of forest floor; on the palate: compacted dried fruit, savory leather and a balsamic lift. High acidity still gives lift; tannins are present but softened by decades in bottle. Serve gently decanted—this is a contemplative wine for slow conversation.

【Occasion / Pairing Guide】Perfect for a celebratory family dinner in Hong Kong—think roast rib-eye, braised beef or a platter of aged cheeses. Also an ideal bottle for a mature-wine tasting among friends.

【Competitive Edge】Compared with big-name modern Brunellos, this Conti Costanti offers mature complexity and collectible rarity at a compelling price point—classic terroir expression without the premium of heavily hyped labels.
