Varietal Composition: 80% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

ABV: 14.1%

Tasting Notes: Rich and juicy, notes of underbrush and black berries, powerful and fine

Ratings & Reviews:

95 Points - Vinous: 
"The 2016 Concerto di Fonterutoli, the estate's blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, is dense, plush and explosive, with superb depth and notable persistence. Super-ripe black cherry, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and rose petal build in a rich, dramatic wine endowed with superb depth, intensity and pedigree. All the best elements of the house style are on display in this sumptuous, modern Tuscan red. Two thousand sixteen is a terrific vintage for the Concerto. I loved it." Drink 2022-2041. - Antonio Galloni (July 2019)

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:"The 2016 Concerto di Fonterutoli is 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in 225-liter French oak for 18 months. The Cabernet Sauvignon element comes through nicely with dark fruit, spice and some grilled herb. The grape gives the wine a heavier and more concentrated center of gravity. However, the soul and style of the wine is driven by the freshness and delicate aromas of the Sangiovese. Production is 37,000 bottles." Drink 2019-2035. - Monica Larner (September 2019)
