Concerto di Fonterutoli

TASTING NOTES

A rich and juicy wine, with notes of black berries and cedar on the nose. The mouthfeel is powerful yet fine, with a velvety texture and intense flavours that show the perfect balance between fruit and oak.

“Concerto” was born in 1981, as an effect of a viticulture becoming aware of its unexpressed potential, experimenting new training systems and new blends, including also non-autochthonous varietals; it was one of the forerunners and also a major player of the “Super Tuscans” phenomenon.
