Concerto di Fonterutoli

The grapes come from the Scassi vineyard site for Sangiovese at around 350 metres and Brotine for Cabernet Sauvignon at around 340 metres near Fonterutoli. The soils are rich in stones as a result of the weathering of Alberese and Galestro. After 14 to 18 days of skin contact, the wine matures for 18 months in small French oak casks; the Sangiovese is aged in tonneaux, the Cabernet Sauvignon in barriques. It then spends three months in a cement tank. Stylistically, it is rich and juicy, with woodland and dark berry fruit, a powerful yet refined finish and smooth-feeling tannins. The vintage is not stated; the wine has been produced since 1981. Sources: Mazzei, official product sheet; Vini Sacripanti.
