Concerto Di Fonterutoli 2020 Toscana IGT Red Wine 75cl

Born in 1981 as one of the original Super Tuscans, this Mazzei estate wine blends Sangiovese with 20% Cabernet Sauvignon in Castellina, delivering sweet, rich character layered with savoury, dusty, spicy detail that critics have consistently rated in the mid-90s across multiple publications. Wild berries, cassis and grilled herbs open the complex nose alongside black cherries and blackcurrant, developing into a well-structured palate with lovely presence, more savoury dusty spiciness and some sour cherry emerging on the finish, closing with a nice bitter twist that reflects the genuinely clear Tuscan origins this wine expresses through its balanced acid line.
