Concerto di Fonterutoli
Tuscany IGT
The legend continues

The 'Concerto' was born in 1981 on the wave of a viticulture aware of its unexpressed potential, which experimented with new forms of cultivation and new blends including
non-native varieties; it was one of the precursors of the phenomenon of the so-called 'Super Tuscans' of which it was also a major protagonist.
