Why We're Buying
Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino is a stunner. The sangiovese sports a deep garnet hue and notes of berries, violets, vanilla, and rose. This impeccably structured red wine won over wine critic Kerin O'Keefe, who awarded it a 99 out of 100. Meanwhile, Neal Martin wrote, "It's so seamlessly put together that it's almost a shame to try teasing it apart."
Critics Scores
Decanter
After sitting out the 2014 vintage, Andrea Costanti calls 2015 a beautiful year and one of the best in the history of Brunello. He deemed it exceptional enough to craft a Riserva (to be released in 2021) yet his classic Brunello hasn't suffered for it. In fact, it's one of the greatest successes of the vintage. Gorgeous, seductive aromas are already expressive but still youthful. Cherry and plum are enveloped by exotic spice and a faint smokiness. The palate is plush and velvety with layers of powdery tannins that build, and tangy acid that cleanses the palate. Hedonistic but brilliantly balanced, it is hard to resist now but the best is definitely yet to come.
