2019 Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli "Concerto" Toscana IGT

Rooted in 600 years of Tuscan heritage at Castello di Fonterutoli, the Mazzei family crafts "Concerto" as a seamless union of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. While the current market has already transitioned to the 2023 vintage,this direct cellar allocation offers a rare chance to acquire the 2019 vintage at peak maturity. Capturing the precise energy,structural balance, and savory depth that first vaulted the Super Tuscan category onto the world stage, this library release arrives with unanimous 95–97 point acclaim across the international critical press.

Sourced from the high-density La Rota and Poggio alla Buca vineyard plots, the vines are rooted in high-elevation,crushed alberese limestone between 330 and 380 meters. After 18 months of aging in French oak barriques and concrete vats, followed by extended bottle maturation in the family cellars, the wine delivers an effortless symphonic harmony between indigenous Tuscan snap and international breadth, offering profound pedigree with zero cellar guesswork required.

Critical Acclaim:

97 Points, Jane Anson (Inside Bordeaux):

"So much promise on the nose... delivers classic Sangiovese character of raspberry, fresh cherries, and cut herbs, with concentrated liquorice, tobacco, tar and leather. Sculpted and precise... So easy to love, and more proof of how enjoyable the 2019 vintage is in this part of the world." 

96 Points, Decanter Magazine:

"Such a fragrant and appealing burst of aromas here with milk chocolate, blackcurrants, dried herbs and flowers... A core of cherries and raspberries alongside savoury olive and oak elements with round, just-there tannins that give support to the fresh and lively fruit." 

Why You’ll Like It

  • Prime Drinking Window: Four years ahead of the current 2023 release, extended bottle maturation has integrated the firm oak and tannin, moving the wine into an expressive sweet spot where tertiary complexity shines.

  • Textural Finesse & Balance: The limestone-grown Sangiovese brings lifted red cherries, pipe tobacco, and chalky freshness, while the Cabernet Sauvignon provides plush dark fruit, structure, and savory cedar notes.

  • Unanimous Critical Consensus: Rated 97 points by Jane Anson, 96 points by Decanter, and awarded triple 95-point scores from Wine Advocate, Vinous, and James Suckling.

How to Serve It

  • Give It an Hour in the Decanter: Allow the wine 45 to 60 minutes of air before pouring to unlock its layered tertiary notes of dried black cherry, leather, and forest floor.

  • Serve at Proper Cellar Temp: Pour at a cool room temperature between 60°F and 65°F (16°C–18°C) in broad Bordeaux-style stems to showcase both aromatic lift and structural depth.

  • Pair with Hearty Tuscan Classics: The savory grip and bright acidity make it a natural match for Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragù over pappardelle, or aged pecorino with rosemary roasted potatoes.
