We love Brunello at Market Wines and Costanti is one of the very best. This elite producer makes some of the most sought after wines in the region, so we’re always excited to get out hands on a few bottles. While many producers suffered in the heat of 2017, Costanti’s cooler sites played well in the vintage making an elegant and complex wine. They choose not to make any of their legendary Reserva wine in 2017, so all their best fruit went into this special Brunello, it’s spectacular offer and an absolute steal at $99.95!

Extremely elegant and focused, this compelling wine defies the heat of the vintage, starting with a heady fragrance of ripe dark-skinned berries, violet, camphor, dark spice and whiffs of crushed herbs. On the linear, elegantly structured palate, tightly woven but extremely polished tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice and white pepper while fresh acidity keeps it balanced and fresh.
