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. Tasted by: Michaela Morris

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. Abv: 14% Kerin O?Keefe

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. - By Eric Guido on November 2023
