One of the forerunners of the Supertuscans, first created by Mazzei in 1981, and still an outstanding red wine from Chianti today: the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli is also a composition in the 2020 vintage that is exuberantly celebrated by international wine critics. In this quality class, it is almost a bargain from Castello di Fonterutoli, located around 20 kilometers north of Siena.
The Concerto Di Fonterutoli is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet of this Italian red wine is exceptionally multifaceted. "An extremely aromatic red wine," writes James Suckling, who awards it 96 points. After opening the bottle, you can look forward to the scent of blackcurrants, dark plums and ripe cherries. These notes harmonize perfectly with the scent of herbs, earthy tones and a beautiful spiciness (white pepper) as well as nuances of leather and a fine minerality.
Dry and powerful on the palate, with a variety and depth of flavors that are not easily found a second time. "Full-bodied and yet so crisp and juicy on the palate with crushed blackberries and raspberries. Citrus-influenced acidity," says Suckling. Monica Larner, who awarded the Concerto Di Fonterutoli 94 points in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, writes: "There is plenty of sweet fruit on the palate, followed by beautifully integrated, dry tannins." The finish lingers for a long time and is engagingly elegant.
A guarantee of enjoyment in the "exceptional wine" category until 2040. The Concerto Di Fonterutoli matured for 18 months in oak, with the Sangiovese being aged in tonneaux (500 liter barrels) and the Cabernet Sauvignon in French oak barriques (225 liter barrels). This was followed by a three-month refinement of the blend in cement tanks.
Finally, these words from wine critic Antonio Galloni about the Mazzei Concerto Di Fonterutoli 2020 (95 points): "The 2020 is a beautiful wine that captures the essence of the house style wonderfully. Today, the purity of the fruit really jumps out of the glass. Outstanding." Happy to uncork a bottle of this Italian red wine from the Mazzei family.
