Note di degustazione
A small crop after drought, with rain finally arriving in September. Creamy texture, red cherry and raspberry fruits, plenty of elegant tannins, majoring on underbrush, cloves, dried herbs and spices, charming, and very much in the Chianti Classico style. A little less exuberant on the nose than some in the lineup. Harvest began September 6, 70% new oak for ageing. Owned by Marchesi Mazzei.

This is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that has been produced since 1981. The fruit is sourced from both the Mazzei family's celebrated Siepi vineyard (located at 260 meters above sea level) and the Fonterutoli site at 500 meters in elevation. The 2017 Concerto di Fonterutoli is dark and saturated with thick layers of blackberry and dark currants, all followed by cured spice, tobacco and a touch of tar or burnt ember. This vintage shows thick darkness and concentrated fruit.
The 2017 Concerto di Fonterutoli, a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, is another attractive wine in this range. Crushed red berries, flowers, mint and mocha give the Concerto so much appeal. Sangiovese drives the blend, and that is very much evident in tasting. Soft contours and silky tannins give this open-knit red plenty of immediacy.
