Born in Berkeley, California, Massimo Di Costanzo is a proud Napa Valley winemaker with a global point of view. Massimo found winemaking while at UC Davis and knew he had found his calling. After graduating with a degree in Viticulture and Enology, Massimo combined stints making wine in Tuscany, Mendoza, Stellenbosch, with longer tenures honing his craft at esteemed Napa wineries: Ovid, Screaming Eagle, and Philippe Melka Consulting. By 2009, he knew that to make the kind of expressive, balanced wines he loved, he would need to start his own project. A friendship with the Farella Vineyard turned into a fruitful partnership, and in 2010 he launched the debut vintage, Di Costanzo Farella Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Massimo lives in Saint Helena, California with his wife, Erin, and son, Luciano.
Vinous
- v91
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon DI CO is a potent, burly wine. Black fruit, cloves, licorice and menthol hit the palate, all framed by firm chocolatey tannins that lend considerable structure. This is a pretty serious, dense and mouth-filling wine for an entry-level offering. Sourced from Oak Knoll.
