Description
Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2020 is a rare expression of Brunello tradition, crafted only in standout vintages when the estate believes the wine truly merits extended aging. Built for longevity, it reflects the classic Riserva philosophy of selecting the most exceptional wine from an already remarkable harvest, with the promise of decades of development ahead.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in the glass, this Riserva is expected to show the youthful intensity typical of great Brunello, with a firm, structured profile that slowly opens with age. Aromas may unfold gradually, revealing layers of red cherry, dried rose, tobacco, leather, and spice, supported by a pronounced mineral edge and noble oak influence.
On the palate, it is likely to be powerful yet refined, with firm tannins and lively acidity giving the wine its hallmark structure and remarkable aging potential. The finish should be long and persistent, with the kind of balance and complexity that rewards patience in the cellar for many years—often decades.
Production
Conti Costanti’s Riserva follows the traditional Brunello approach described by the estate: it is made only in exceptional vintages, when the quality is high enough to justify a wine intended for very long bottle aging. Produced from Sangiovese in Tuscany’s Montalcino zone, the wine reflects the region’s characteristic combination of warm sun, elevation, and cooling influences that help preserve freshness while developing depth and concentration. As a Riserva, it is crafted with a focus on structure, acidity, and tannin to support extended refinement over time.
Food & Serving
This wine is best served with rich, flavorful dishes such as braised beef, wild boar, roast lamb, truffle pasta, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for several hours if drinking young, as this can help soften the tannins and allow the aromatic complexity to emerge.
Producer
Conti Costanti is one of the historic names in Montalcino, closely associated with the longstanding tradition of Brunello production. The estate has earned a respected place in the region for its commitment to classic winemaking and its ability to produce structured, age-worthy wines. Its Riservas are especially notable for representing the best of the vintage and for embodying the patience and craftsmanship that define great Brunello di Montalcino.
