Conti Costanti, Brunello di Montalcino, Riserva 2016

We have been offered 10 cases of a 100 pointer Brunello Riserva coming from the great Conti Costanti. These are museum releases with perfect provenance.

 

We have secured a price which allows us to offer this at $100 under the current retail price per bottle in Australia.

 

The Costanti family has been crafting exceptional wines in Montalcino since the 16th century, a legacy carried forward with passion and precision by Andrea Costanti. Taking the reins in 1983 from his uncle, Count Emilio, Andrea brought a fresh perspective shaped by his geology studies and a determination to elevate the estate further. Collaborating with renowned oenologist Vittorio Fiore, Andrea has enhanced Costanti’s reputation for producing Brunellos of remarkable elegance and complexity.

 

The Matrichese cru is the soul of these wines, delivering fragrant, focused berry fruit, impeccable structure, and exquisite balance, thanks to its high-altitude vineyards (310–440 meters) that benefit from perfect ventilation and diurnal temperature swings. With just 10 hectares under vine and fierce demand globally, Costanti’s Brunellos remain a rare treasure.

 

There were only 8,000 bottles of the Riserva produced, and availability is limited!

 

I’ll leave with a couple of tasting notes

 

100 points – Kerin O’Keefe – Wine Enthusiast

“This perfumed wine opens with layers of scents, including violet, woodland berries, new leather, forest floor and warm spices. Smooth and elegantly structured, the savory palate boasts juicy black-skinned berry, blood orange, licorice, tobacco and the barest hint of coffee bean alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it impeccably balanced. Drink 2026–2046.”

 

97 points – Bruce Sanderson – Wine Spectator

“Packed with plum, black cherry and blackberry flavors, this solid red is a bit closed today, despite its freshness. Floral, earth, wild herb and mineral accents chime in as this follows through on the resonant finish. All the components are in the right place. Best from 2025 through 2043.”
