The 2015 vintage for Brunello di Montalcino is widely celebrated as one of the finest since 2010, offering a captivating blend of ripeness and structure. Conti Costanti's 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a powerful and elegantly structured wine, crafted from barrels showcasing exceptional tannic structure and acidity for long aging. It beautifully captures the vintage's generous and affable personality. Expect aromas of ripe dark-skinned fruit, forest floor, rose, and wild mint. The palate delivers mature Marasca cherry, blood orange, licorice, and tobacco, supported by refined tannins. This wine is noted for its staggering richness, fleshiness, and almost creamy texture, while maintaining fresh fruit clarity and resolved tannins. 【 98 Points Wine Enthusiast 】 It's hedonistic yet brilliantly balanced, offering immediate appeal but promising even greater complexity with age, with a recommended drinking window through 2035. This elegant and powerful Brunello Riserva pairs wonderfully with substantial dishes. Consider classic Tuscan fare like slow-braised wild boar ragu, grilled bistecca alla fiorentina, or rich osso buco. For a more international pairing, aged hard cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Toscano would be excellent choices. Perfect for a significant anniversary dinner, a sophisticated wine tasting event focused on top Brunello vintages, or a celebratory gathering where a truly exceptional red wine is desired to impress discerning guests.
