Fonterutoli Siepi IGT 2006
Mazzei has an old 35-acre vineyard, called Siepi, which was considered to be a fantastic Sangiovese area, In the early 1980s, when replanting a parcel of the vineyard with Sangiovese, Mazzei decided to include Merlot, winding up with a 15-acre portion planted roughly equally with Sangiovese and Merlot, which serves as the source for their Super Tuscan, labelled Siepi.
Already in his youth he is very accessible despite the immense richness, but his true strengths he shows only after a few years.
