Brimming with class and extreme elegance, the delicious palate mesmerizes with great depth and layers of flavor including Morello cherry, raspberry compote, orange zest, licorice, cake spice and crushed mint framed in tightly woven, refined tannins. Bright acidity provides impeccable balance and intensity. This is already tempting but the best is yet to come. The Costanti Riservas are only made in extraordinary years, and like the 2016 Riserva, the 2019 is made from the oldest estate vines.

The 2019 vintage is one of the greatest that Montalcino has witnessed in the last decade, and that is more evident in the higher elevations of the north. The house of Le Potazzine is a prime example. The majority of their vineyards are located in the northwest at 510 meters and are balanced by vines cultivated around Sant’Angelo in Colle in the south. In 2019, Le Potazzine produced a wine of pure elegance, finesse and power. This is one of the most complete, young Brunellos I’ve yet tasted from Gigliola Gorelli and her two daughters, Sofia and Viola. Sofia Gorelli described 2019 as “a vintage of elegance with a typical cooler vintage drinkability but has the texture of great years.” She lends their success to their higher elevations. Le Potazzine seldom produces a Riserva, which is made from a selection in the vineyard. However, there will be one in 2019 and another in 2021. The 2021 Rosso, a barrel selection, always comes across as a baby Brunello.
