Costanti Brunello Riserva 750 mL
Red Wine | 14% ABV | 750 mL

Process & Profile

The Costanti Brunello Riserva is a benchmark expression from one of Montalcinos most historic estates. Made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso grown on the Costanti familys high-elevation vineyards, the grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts. The wine is aged for several years in large Slavonian oak casks, followed by extended bottle maturation, resulting in a structured, nuanced, and cellar-worthy Brunello that showcases both power and elegance.
