Conti Costanti Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2016

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 date: 2026-2046. Ranked #14 in Wine Enthusiast’s Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2022. Score – 100. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2022)
