Castello di Fonterutoli Siepi 2020
Siepi, owned by Mazzei family since 1435, has always been a model farm, still managed today with the same kind of respect. A unique location, a special microclimate, the foresight in the early 1980s to plant Merlot as the ideal grape to complement Sangiovese in a very particular "terroir" produce a wine which is perfectly balanced between elegance, power and complexity.

Colour

Deep, ruby red.

Bouquet

A flood of wild fruit tones, juniper, bois de rose and sandalwood, blond tobacco and even touches of noble vegetable and leather, follow one another non-stop.

Flavour

The taste is equally intense and fiery, full of perfectly modulated tannins with an absolutely responsive and very long finish.

Pairing

Rich, textured dishes, dark sauces, game, blue cheeses.
