While Siepi is an even split of Merlot and Sangiovese, Concerto gives Sangiovese the limelight, with 20% of Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2023, it's actually the Cabernet which shows most prominently, with chocolate- and violet-tinged dark berries overlaying some subtle red fruit. Intense and concentrated yet very fresh and not at all heavy, the palate is infused with menthol and sweet spice, with some wood peeking through. A long saline and ferrous finish with a touch of dark chocolate wraps things up nicely. Lifted and articulate, it's only at the beginning of its life, with plenty to offer those with patience.- James Button
