Sweet, baked red fruits with rose and pink floral aromas on the nose alongside touches of clove, toast and cinnamon. Smooth and soft in the mouth, rich yet elegant with a supple core of strawberry, cherry and raspberries lifted by high acidity and such excellent tannins. Fully flavoured with a mineral, iron, salty tang that lingers on the tongue from the mid palate onwards with tobacco and dried spices providing nice contrast to the ripe, herbal-edged fruit. A really delicious, mouthwatering compelling glass of wine. Succulent and oh so lifted and juicy. Wondrous with a lingering sense of Italian sunshine and dried scrubland. Ageing 18 months in French oak barrels; large tonneaux for Sangiovese (80% of the blend) and smaller barriques for the Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) plus three months in concrete tanks.

I am lucky enough to have a few bottles of this at home, and it is absolutely a wine that I recommend. Savoury in the best way of Tuscan wines, with underbrush and sage spices. Hard to beat the pairing with tagliatelle, butter and shaved white truffle, picking up the fragrant character of this Sangiovese. It's exactly what I love about Concerto - turmeric, campfire, tobacco leaf alongside ripe autumnal fruits, studded with orange peel and lemongrass, and a mouthwatering finish. 70% new oak for ageing, followed by three months in concrete vats before bottling. Francesco Mazzei co-owner and estate director, Gionata Puglignani winemaker. Ageing in small French oak barrels for the Cabernet Sauvignon, larger sized for the Sangiovese.

The Mazzei 2021 Concerto di Fonterutoli shows a lifted bouquet with floral aromas of lavender, iris and delicate earthy tones at the back. There is plenty of primary fruit over well-integrated oak and soft tannins. Rainfall was happily abundant in this vintage, and the harvest was extremely rewarding, resulting in very healthy grapes. Analytical results underline fruit concentration, high polyphenolic values and a good sugar to acidity ratio. - Monica Larner

This is spicy and vibrant with a mix of red and dark berries with dried citrus peel, chili pepper and spicy herbs. Hints of bark, too. Full with layers of polished tannins and chalky, powdery texture. Juicy acidity coming through. Shows depth and concentration. Racy and long. Better from 2026.

The 2021 Concerto di Fonterutoli, Mazzei's Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, is plush and resonant to the core. Punchy, red-toned fruit, blood orange, cedar and spice all come together effortlessly, with plush, silky tannins that wrap it all together. Today the Sangiovese is super-expressive. - Antonio Galloni
