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.

This dense, long red offers a ripe swath of cherry and plum fruit, shaded by leather, earth, sanguine and salty licorice accents. Buffered by a layer of dense tannins, this seems better balanced and more sophisticated than many 2017s. Sangiovese. Best from 2022 through 2037. 1,833 cases made, 350 cases imported. — BS

A rich, layered blend of 80% sangiovese and 20% cabernet sauvignon with sour-cherry, plum and walnut character. Full body, chewy tannins and a savory finish. Needs time to soften. Better after 2022.
