Concerto Di Fonterutoli Toscana Rosso 2021 750 ML

Fonterutoli is located near Siena on hills facing the Val d’Elsa, in the heart of Chianti Classico. Owned by the Mazzei family since 1435, Castello Fonterutoli promotes local varieties which express the identity of their land, while respecting nature and its diversity. The vineyards spread over 110 hectares divided on 144 single parcels with altitudes ranging from 220m to 570m. The estate is densily planted and produces very limited yields. Grapes are top quality making full-bodied wines with structure, balance and freshness.\n\nThe first vintage of Concerto was made in 1981, when Super-Tuscan wines was getting underway. The Mazzei family realised the potential of planting nonindigenous grape varieties on their land and started to experiment with new training systems and new blends. Only made in exceptional years, Concerto has become a major player of the ‘Super Tuscans’ phenomenon.\n\nMarking the wine’s 40th anniversary, the 2021 vintage followed a regular climatic arc: the cold winter with little precipitation was followed by an initially cool spring with adequate rainfall. The summer was hot and long, but with good diurnal temperature variations that allowed excellent completion of the grape ripening process. After an extremely rewarding harvest, with healthy grapes, in excellent phytosanitary condition, the vinification took place at a controlled temperature of 26° to 28° C for between 14 and 18 days
