Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016 magnum
Conti Costanti is one of the three “founding fathers” of Brunello di Montalcino and, with Barbi, the only one still owned by the same family. The barely 10ha vineyard, entirely biodynamic, is located just outside the town on the southern slope. Without much fuss, some of Montalcino’s finest wines are made here year after year. After manual harvest, the grapes are fully de-risked and fermented in steel cuves. The Brunello matures in large 30hl and 5hl barrels for 3 years. The results are particularly great Brunello’s in a complex, structured style , with slightly more roundness that makes them a little more approachable than those from Biondi-Santi. Costanti’s Brunello’s have always been among the region’s best, but in the last decade Andrea and his team have been making truly great wines!
Ulrich Nussbaumer: “In the thirty years I taste Brunello, this is probably the greatest young Brunello I ever tasted.”
