2016 Conti Costanti, Brunello di Montalcino
Now£65 / Bottle
4 Bottles Available
The 2016 vintage provided near-ideal conditions across the region: a balanced season with steady warmth, timely rain, and long, even ripening that brought both depth and precision.
In this context, the wine emerges as a composed and quietly powerful expression, structured, age-worthy, and deeply aligned with the estate’s enduring philosophy.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 97
Cedar and mint hints complement depths of musky red currant and dried cherries as the darkly alluring 2016 Brunello di Montalcino smolders up from the glass. This is a model of purity, with textures of pure silk. It’s vibrant, verging on nervous acidity, mixing ripe strawberry with a tart cranberry crunch as orange traces add further depth toward the close. Still structured yet not aggressively so, the 2016 finishes long and staining. A gentle tug of fine tannins adds youthful poise as the cheeks pucker for another sip. This is already showing beautifully, yet patience is recommended.
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2040
Wine Advocate 94
The Conti Costanti 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows warm fruit layering with cherry, wild raspberry and plum. You might also notice some touches of sweetness with candied orange skin and lavender honey. At the back of it all, you get tilled earth and a touch of black olive. This wine reveals good complexity to the bouquet and follows up with a streamlined, mid-weight mouthfeel. I found this vintage to be shorter compared to the 2015 edition tasted earlier in the year. Production is 35,000 bottles.
Anticipated maturity: 2024-2040
