Siepi Toscana IGT is the emblematic wine of Castello di Fonterutoli, produced by the Mazzei family in a particularly suitable area of Castellina in Chianti. It was created from the idea of combining Merlot with Sangiovese and is based on an equal share of both varieties. The vineyards lie at approximately 260 metres above sea level, on predominantly Alberese soils with a south-southwestern exposure. The grapes are harvested by hand, while fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperature.

After maceration, the wine is aged for 18 months in small French-oak barrels, including a significant proportion of new oak, and then completed in concrete tanks. It offers a powerful structure supported by freshness and complexity, with aromas of elderberry, plum, berries, sandalwood and tobacco. The finish is long and defined. It pairs well with rich, structured dishes, dark sauces, game and blue cheeses. The first vintage was produced in 1992, and the wine has an ageing potential of more than twenty years.
