Description
From the Colle al Matrichese location east of Montalcino’s city walls, the 2009 Brunello di Montalcino shows a rich fabric that is woven tight with evident strands of black fruit, mesquite smoke, crushed black pepper, licorice, rosemary oil and root beer. The wine leans away from the sweet side of Brunello to the savory side and that is ultimately what makes it so attractive. It is put together thanks to masculine and muscular touches with evocative shadings of smoke and mineral that shift and change as the wine opens in the glass. This bouquet is a moving target that keeps your fixed attention for as long as you have the wine in front of you. And, considering the general quality here compared to many of its peers, that won’t be very long at all. The mouthfeel feels a bit shorter than past vintages and that’s why this wine didn’t score higher.

The 2018 Conti Costanti Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a testament to the winery's dedication to quality and tradition. This Tuscan red is bold and structured, with a complex bouquet of red cherry, spiced cranberry, and a hint of tangy saline. The palate is graced with layers of licorice, rosemary, and a persistent mineral undertone. Aged meticulously in French and Slavonian oak, this wine achieves a harmonious balance between depth and finesse. Decanting for two hours will allow its full spectrum of flavors to unfold, making it an excellent companion to hearty dishes like grilled red meats or a wild boar ragù.
