100 Point Breathtakingly Gorgeous Brunello!

May 02, 2024

"This is a wine Brunello lovers will want in their cellar." Kerin O'Keefe

"In the last 50 or 60 years, Conti Costanti has been heralded as one of the most historic and greatest producers of Brunello di Montalcino, second only to the famed house of Biondi-Santi." Forbes

The wine is classically made with their first known Brunello vintage dating back to the late 1800's. 

With vineyards located 400 feet above sea level and soil replete with limestone and fossilized shells, the wine consistently showcases stunning minerality alongside its hauntingly delicious fruit.

"The 2019 Brunello from Costanti is breathtakingly gorgeous. Combining the intensity of the vintage and the hallmark finesse that defines the wines of this historic estate, this is a wine Brunello lovers will want in their cellars. It opens with heady aromas of fragrant blue flower, woodland berry, forest floor and new leather that on the palate segue into juicy Marasca cherry, wild raspberry, blood orange, menthol and baking spice. Firm, ultra-refined tannins offer support while bright acidity keeps it beautifully balanced and vibrant. What. A. Stunner."  Kerin O'Keefe

Costanti is perfect alongside a fresh tomato and mozzarella salad, your favorite Bolognese recipe, or grilled meat.  

Of the few 2019 Brunellos we've featured this year, they and this tasty Tuscan red are worthy of the statement:  "the vintage we've all been waiting for."  Eric Guido, Vinous

Enjoy now and over the next fifteen years.

Cheers!

“Simply gloriously sculpted.”

Decanter • 100 / 100

"I remember tasting Costanti’s 2019 Rosso di Montalcino in 2021 and thinking how Brunello-esque it was: the sturdy structure was almost uncharacteristic, yet it certainly boded well for the Brunello. Simply gloriously sculpted, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is indeed statuesque and stately. While it doesn’t give everything up all at once, it is gracious in its presentation. From chestnut forest and sweet earth, to anise and orange extract, the aromas are visceral, and boundless depths of wild red berries suffuse the palate. It vibrates with scintillating acidity and long, tactile tannins which stretch out leisurely. I bet that Rosso has hit its stride now – if you have some, it’s what you'll want to drink while waiting for this captivatingly beautiful Brunello. I can't help but imagine what next year’s Riserva release has in store..."
