2020, Concerto di Fonterutoli TOSCANA ITALYA blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Second vintage on the Place for this excellent wine. Winemaker Gionata Puglignani; owners Mazzei family. Clever construction, with fine tannins and a savoury quality to the fruit that makes it so drinkable. Intensely fragrant, wild strawberries, madarin peel, dried roses, smoked earth and underbrush. You could go for this now, but it will also improve with further ageing. Has an unhurried seduction

Leaner than Haut-Brion today

Very fine tannins

those candied cherry and raspberry notes emerge with distinction and underline the heat of the vintage

The palate is sheer joy - a burst of flavour but unforced and presented with real charm - lime leaf

dark chocolate and savoury garrigue herbal aspect coming through

It is scrumptious right now in this fruity flush of youth

quite concentrated and muscular with a saline finish

a fine bead of acidity and just the right amount of sapidity

30hl/h yields

Piercing acidity with gooseberry and apple

This is a success

Subtle with a ton of complexity: blackberry and autumnal fruits
