Brunello di Montalcino

Cork

Riserva

1975 was one of two vintages in the 1970s rated five stars by the Brunello consortium. Besides owning a mere 1.5 ha at that time, Costanti was still using a small proportion of chestnut barrels making for an exotic expression. Sherry-like notes of nuts and soy make way for intriguing nuances of polished wood and sous-bois. The tannins have melted but a sappy balsamic character keeps the wine animated even upon revisiting a couple of hours later. While this has already peaked, it remains captivating and was one of the most fascinating wines of the tasting.
