Description

SIEPI is a SUPER TUSCAN from one of the oldest wine estates in Tuscany. Mazzei, the family have been making wine since 1435!

This SUPER TUSCAN IGT 1997 (17.5 Jancis Robinson 2005-2025 drinking window) is perfect drinking.

Recently moved from perfect storage. Bottles & labels perfect condition with good levels, BASE OF NECK, some sediment staining on neck, due to storing for many years, but wine has good clarity. A truly rare item in the UK.

None currently for sale in the UK, in Italy its £80 minimum per bottle.

Have set conservative reserve at £100 for 2 bottles.

Created from a blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot, harvested in the Siepi vineyard (Fonterutoli) situated at an altitude of 260 m. (853 ft.) and benefitting from exceptional climatic and soil conditions.
A highly concentrated wine with sweet and dense tannins.

The estate lies just north of Siena (and the hamlet of Fonterutoli has views of the city), in the heart of Chianti, covering 650 hectares (1606 acres) of land. There are five vineyards on the estate, all with very different terroirs.

The Fonterutoli and Siepi vineyards, together totalling around 40 hectares (100 acres) are the two most important, and provide grapes for the top wines. Generally, the soils in the vineyards are rocky and limestone-rich, and along with the sunny exposition of the vineyards, are perfectly suited to winegrowing.

Number of vines per hectare: 3,600 - 6,000
Harvest: Hand picked starting from September 12 (Merlot) and from September 25 (Sangiovese)
Fermentation temperature: 30 - 33° C
