2021 Costanti Brunello di Montalcino
99
Kerin O'Keefe
Review Date: 12/2025The compelling Conti Costanti 2021 Brunello captivates with pronounced aromas of fragrant purple flower, eucalyptus, Mediterranean brush and perfumed berry. All about class and extreme finesse, the elegant palate delivers succulent wild raspberry, crushed Marasca cherry, spiced orange zest and star anise set against a backbone of fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity lends balance and great intensity. Year after year Andrea Costanti turns out what are among the very best wines from Montalcino, and the 2021 is no exception, it’s an absolute stunner with great aging potential. (KO)

Notes
The 2021 Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino is a monumental and classic expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino's founding estates, capturing the energy and structure of this highly anticipated vintage. The nose is deep, complex, and intensely savory, with profound aromas of dark cherry, wild plum, and dried red rose, layered with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and iron-rich earth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and immensely structured, driven by a dense core of fruit framed by firm, ultra-refined tannins and a vibrant, energetic acidity. The finish is exceptionally long, powerful, and mineral-driven, a testament to the traditional, long-lived style of Costanti. This is a cellar-worthy masterpiece that will demand and reward patience.
