40 years of research, over 300 meters of altitude gradient, 120 single vineyards, 36 biotypes of Sangiovese of which 18 exclusive to Fonterutoli, 120 individual vinifications and ageing processes, a blend of 50 wines from the best single vineyards: since its conception Castello Fonterutoli represents the real star of Chianti Classico.
20 months in small French oak barrels (225 and 500 lt / 60% new). Great structure, complex dried flowers bouquet, very rich and persistent. Have it with savoury dishes, game, stews, truffles, aged cheeses.
I tasted this 80-20 blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon as a barrel sample. The Mazzei 2018 Concerto di Fonterutoli offers an authentic Tuscan character with the robust personality and fruit weight to pair with a classic T-bone bistecca alla Fiorentina. Concerto is fleshy and succulent with black cherry, plum, cardamom spice and grilled rosemary. The wine's robust and black fruit profile makes an ideal companion to meats on the grill. The tannins are evident, but they also show elegant restraint so as not to overpower the flavors of your dish.’
