2022, Concerto di Fonterutoli, TOSCANA IGT, Rosso

Last Year EP $68.50-

A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Love the slow build of this wine, it gently climbs through the palate, savoury and restrained at first, then opening up with a smile, plenty of welcoming dried herbs, chamomile tea, dried rosebuds, orange peel, raspberry fruits. Great quality, full of concentration and lift, push and pull, and just so juicy on the finish. Great stuff, from soils of decomposed limestone and sandstone, aged in large oak casks for the Sangiovese and small barrels for the Cabernet, then 3 months in concrete tanks before bottling. Mazzei family, winemaker Gionarta Pulignani. Tasted with the September Releases and again at the estate.

The Mazzei 2022 Concerto di Fonterutoli is lovely, with a dark and velvety character that holds strong over a long, polished finish. The style encapsulated here is modern classic in this celebrated blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Tuscan grape finishes in large oak casks, and the French variety ages in barrique.
