The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino from Conti Costanti is a real beauty. Surprisingly expressive and fragrant on the nose, with bright and pure raspberry and rose hip aromas, spicy bay leaf, and baked earth notes. There is a wonderful delicacy and gracefulness on the mid-palate, which is followed by the firm, but not forbidding, grip of statuesque tannins. A very exciting vintage from this historic estate, which we strongly recommend.
Tasting Notes and Scores
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is impossible to ignore. Clove and a dusting of savory spice complicate a beguiling crushed black cherry and strawberry bouquet. This presents textures of pure silk, ushering in ripe red fruits and inner florals that stain the palate in youthful concentration. The 2019 tapers off dramatically, leaving a bed of grippy tannins to grumble on as licorice and orange hints slowly fade. Drinking Window: 2026-2039. (Eric Guido)
Antonio Galloni
Lustrous ruby. Concentrated fruit with minerally notes and grows increasingly complex in the glass. Full yet elegant on the palate with finely chiselled tannins. Breathtaking balance. Simply gorgeous, but far from ready. Montalcino nobility. Drink 2026-2040. (Walter Speller)
Jancis Robinson
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. Drink 2027-2044. (Kerin O'Keefe)
