These are the last bottles we have of this fantastic half-bottle buy of Costanti after selling out in one day! Costanti is one of the truly classic producers of Tuscany, and their Brunello has seen very little change over the years, staying firmly rooted in tradition. The Costanti family’s history in Montalcino dates back to the 1500s, and they were among the earliest families to help define Brunello's identity and bring the region's wines into the modern world. Today, the estate farms 12 hectares of organically worked vineyards at roughly 400 meters elevation, where galestro soils, high-altitude freshness, and careful farming all contribute to the complexity and balance that define the wines. Current winemaker Andrea Costanti has often emphasized the impact that vineyard elevation and organic farming have on aromatic complexity, and after tasting mature bottles, it is easy to see why. The 2015 vintage was a dream year for Brunello, giving ripe fruit, depth, and polished tannins, and Costanti’s version is one of the estate’s most significant modern efforts, combining the generosity of the vintage with the structure, elegance, and restraint of a truly traditional house. It is also especially rare to find great Brunello in half-bottle format, making this a very compelling way to access one of Montalcino’s top classic producers in this fun size. We have excellent pricing on these today, and finds like these are few and far between, so grab some while you can!
