Deep ruby in colour, this is concentrated compared to many in Tuscany, love the super savoury feel, tongue-scraping architecture, with so much freshly cut herb edging and heavy liqourice root and gunsmoke alongside raspberry and cassis fruit. Brilliant, up there with the very best of the Bordeaux-Tuscan wines, where the grapes and the region truly each play their part in creating the personality of the wine. The vineyards for Siepi are in Castellina in Chianti, harvest September 5 to 17, 70% new oak for ageing, large oak casks for the Sangiovese, then three months in concrete tanks before release. Tasted with the September Releases and again at the estate. | Jane Anson | 2024 | 97

Druiven: 50% Sangiovese, 50% Merlot

Siepi en Concerto zijn de Super Tuscans van Chianti-wijnhuis Castello di Fonterutoli, in eigendom van de Mazzei-familie. Siepi is een blend van 50% Merlot en 50% Sangiovese. De Sangiovese wordt traditioneel opgevoed in grote eikenhouten vaten, de Merlot modern in kleinere barriques. De Concerto is gedomineerd door Sangiovese (80%) met daarbij 20% Cabernet.
