Mazzei Concerto di Fonterutoli 2020
Description
1981 a été le premier millésime de ce vin, qui est vu comme un des précurseurs du phénomène des super-toscans, et donc une référence incontournable. Sa production, qui combine le cépage étranger Cabernet sauvignon et le cépage autochtone Sangiovese, et expérimente l'utilisation de fûts français de plus petite capacité, donne un rouge concentré mais équilibré, plein de fruits noirs et sauvages avec une touche herbacée unique, des tanins bien intégrés et une grande structure qui lui promet une longue garde

L'avis des experts
An extremely aromatic red with currants, flowers and spices, following through to a full-bodied yet so crunchy and juicy palate with crushed blackberries and raspberries. Citrusy acidity. Bright and agile. Drink or hold.
This Toscana IGT from Chianti Classico stalwart Fonterutoli is a blend of 80% tonneaux-aged Sangiovese and 20% barrique-aged Cabernet Sauvignon, both matured for 18 months. Tobacco and cedar-laced black fruit aromas lead to a bright and concentrated palate full of focused red and black fruits, showing great balance and structure for long ageing. A finish of herbal bitters and pomegranate lends depth and interest to this youthful, value-for-money red.
The nose balances the peppery, sanguine smokiness of grilled meat with a succulent swirl of black cherries and chocolate. On the palate, that balance continues, and is spotlighted by a strong undertow of spice and salt, while polished tannins and integrated acid create cohesion.
The Mazzei 2020 Concerto di Fonterutoli is a blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from a cool vineyard site located at 350 meters in elevation. It is surrounded by thick forests on three sides. The role of the forest especially in the hills of Chianti is becoming ever more appreciated as we face hot summers and climate change. This wine remains focused and tight with wild berry, blackcurrant, grilled herb, spice and dark mineral tones. To the palate, there is plenty of sweet fruit followed by nicely integrated, dry tannins.
