Tasting notes
Concerto was born in 1981, as an effect of a viticulture with an unexpressed potential, experimenting new training systems and new blends, including also non-autochthonous varietals; it was one of the forerunners and also one of the top 10 players of the Super Tuscans phenomenon. Rich and juicy, notes of underbrush and black berries, powerful and fine.
