Estimate
Fabulous. The purity and translucence of Sangiovese comes through beautifully...Refined, pedigreed and exceptionally beautiful, the Costanti pretty much embodies what 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is all about.
Aromas of menthol, leather, pressed violet, forest floor and woodland berry... firm, delicious palate offers dried red cherry, crushed raspberry, ground white pepper and licorice alongside a backbone of assertive but fine-grained tannins
Rich, with a smooth texture and lively structure supporting the mulled cherry, licorice, leather and tobacco flavors. This firms up — a good sign in a young red, with a lingering finish of tobacco and spice.
Sweet and round with lots of fruit. Very dusty tannins. Pretty embryonic at this stage but very lively.
