Mazzei Castelli di Fonterutoli “Siepi” 2018 is an exclusive and deeply characterful red wine from Tuscany with dark fruit, floral nuances, and a refined, modern structure. The vintage appears concentrated, harmonious, and elegant with great precision, beautiful freshness, and a unique balance between power, finesse, and silky depth, making the wine both impressive now and exceptionally age-worthy.

The aroma offers ripe plums, dark cherries, and forest berries, complemented by violet, tobacco, sandalwood, warm spices, a light hint of orange peel, and a subtle mineral tone. The taste is full-bodied and dense with intense fruit, fine polished tannins, and a lively acidity, where dark berries, herbs, spicy nuances, and an elegant earthy depth come together in a long, nuanced, and silky-smooth finish.

The wine pairs excellently with beef, veal, lamb, game, mushroom dishes, and braised dishes, as well as mature cheeses – an obvious choice for classic dinners and for those seeking a great Tuscan wine with both depth, elegance, and great development potential.

96 /100

The lovely 2018 Siepi, from old vines of Sangiovese and Merlot, comes out roaring. I have long been a fan of this historic wine that so carefully blends the fruity freshness and bright flavors of the Tuscan grape with the soft and succulent background tones of the French counterpart. These two sides achieve elegance and balance in this classic vintage. To the palate, the wine is fleshed out and texturally rich. I'm happily settling on the higher part of the range of scores I had previously published. The wine has come together in seamless fashion with that extra bottle aging. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Bright ruby color with a purple shimmer. Truly expressive nose of cassis and blackberry with balsamic notes in the background. Very precise on the palate, showing tons of fresh black cherry. Polished with finely-woven tannin, smooth texture on the finish.

Merlot - Sangiovese

Merlot – Sangiovese er et moderne og populært italiensk rødvinsblend, især kendt fra Toscana, hvor det ofte optræder som en moderne fortolkning af Chianti‑stilen under Toscana IGT. Her kombineres Sangioveses høje syre, struktur og savory karakter med Merlots blødere, rundere og frugtige profil.

Sangiovese er Italiens mest plantede drue og kendt for sin livlige friskhed, røde kirsebærfrugt og urteprægede, jordede karakter. Merlot, der modner tidligere og er naturligt blødere, tilfører fyldighed, saftig mørkere frugt og en mere silket tekstur. Denne kombination skaber vine, der både er tilgængelige i deres ungdom og har en flot balance mellem friskhed, dybde og charme.

Blendet har også vundet indpas uden for Italien, især i Californien og Australien, hvor producenter skaber frugtdrevne, bløde og madvenlige versioner
