The Concerto Toscana IGT, produced by the Mazzei family, is a Tuscan wine that comes to life in the town of Castello di Fonterutoli, in the Chianti Classico area in the province of Siena. This wine can be considered one of the precursors of the so-called Super Tuscans of which it became one of the major protagonists.

The first vintage dates back to 1981, at a time of research and innovation in the wine sector, when new forms of breeding and new blends were being experimented using non-native varieties.

The Concerto is produced from vines that are 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon bred in Cordone speronato and Guyot, in a structured soil thanks to the breaking up of alberese and galestro rocks.

The grapes are harvested strictly by hand and left to macerate for 14 to 18 days. The maturation takes place in 18 months in small French oak barrels, then it is bottled in February 2017. This wine is a true legend, produced by the Mazzei family that has been producing unique wines with soul and passion for over six hundred years. The wines of this company are born from a philosophy handed down from generation to generation, which aims to enhance the value of native grape varieties to express the identity of the Tuscan territory. Paying attention and respect for diversity and nature, adopting a sustainable agriculture made of careful attention to the balance of the land.

Concerto Toscana IGT is a dry red wine that, thanks to the Sangiovese vines from which it is vinified, expresses its qualitative potential, recounting great aromas and elegance. It is a rich and juicy red wine. On the nose it has notes of undergrowth and black fruits. A wine characterised by a high and at the same time fine aftertaste. A perfect wine, thanks to its strong taste, to be combined with dishes rich in spices, stewed game and a wide range of mature cheeses.
