Marchesi Mazzei Toscana Concerto di Fonterutoli 2019 750ml

The Mazzei 2019 Concerto di Fonterutoli comes from a classic vintage that happily brought both quality and quantity in terms of harvest. It recalls some of the greatest vintages made in the 1980s. Winter temperatures were below average and rainfall was scarce. The summer was hot but not excessively so. September brought moderate weather with good diurnal temperature fluctuations. This is a beautiful wine that is showing especially well at this moment. It offers great primary intensity, dark fruit and black cherry over elegantly chalky tannins. The 2019 comes out strongly in this retrospective.
