The Mazzei family is renowned as one of Italy's most prestigious winemakers, with a history of producing wine in Chianti dating back to 1435.
Concerto, crafted since 1981, embodies everything needed to create a truly exceptional wine. With vines planted as far back as the 1930s, these ancient plants yield small berries of remarkable concentration. Their deep root systems allow them to access water even in dry years, ensuring they can flower, set fruit, and ripen to perfection—something younger vines often struggle to achieve.

What the critics say:
"The 2022 Concerto di Fonterutoli, 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, is a hugely promising wine. Big fruit and juicy contours lend quite a bit of immediacy. All things considered, Concerto is beautifully done for the vintage. I would give it a few years in bottle, as it needs time to develop more layers of aromatic nuance. "
"An intense and concentrated Sangiovese with lush black cherry fruit, earth, black pepper and licorice. Full-bodied with dense, velvety. slightly dusty tannins. Elegant, integrated acidity and a lively, toasted finish. Great potential for aging, yet good to drink now."
