A real treat – featuring vintages from 2008, 2013, 2015 and 2016.
The first vintage of Siepi was in 1992, although the vineyard dates back to the 15th Century, making it some of the oldest terroir in Tuscany. The vineyard is fully organic, faces south west and boasts the all-important Galastro, limestone, clay and Alberese, a wonderful balanced texture that maximises the Sangiovese and Merlot ripeness. The vineyard is located near the village of Fonterutoli, which the Mazzei family have owned for 24 generations. The village is of historical importance, containing an Etruscan Acropolis, later it became a final frontier on a Roman road and then the border between Firenze and Sienna during the height of their hostilities.
Castello di Fonterutoli Siepi has true pedigree; it is the flagship wine of the Mazzei family, who are one of the most important wine making families in Tuscany. Siepi beautifully synthesises Tuscan tradition, embodied through the use of 50% Sangiovese, combined with 50% of the international grape variety Merlot, thereby becoming a true ‘super Tuscan’ wine, taking the best from both worlds. It is the combination of painstaking viti- and viniculture and the addition of Merlot that distinguishes this wine from other leading estates in Tuscany. Siepi only produces 1,600 cases when made. If you have never tried Siepi before you will be very impressed. Siepi is the epitome of their ‘no expense spared’ wine-making. Siepi spends 18 months in 225 litre French oak barrique (70% new).
