THE WINE
The Toscana Rosso 'Siepi' by Mazzei is a legendary wine, coming from the homonymous plot of about 6 hectares. It has always stood out for its elegance, considered by Gambero Rosso as one of the 50 wines that have changed Italy and elected by Wine Spectator as one of the best 100 Italian wines of 2018. A Supertuscan that matures for 18 months in small French oak barrels.
THE COMPANY
The Marchesi Mazzei family boasts an unparalleled heritage immersed in the Tuscan winemaking tradition. Their story actually begins many centuries ago, in the medieval village of Castello di Fonterutoli, and continues for 24 generations. A village, that of Fonterutoli, overlooking the Val d’Elsa, which has belonged to the Mazzei family since 1435, still retains its original appearance as a quiet countryside village: a few houses, the church of San Miniato, and the villa built at the end of the 1500s in place of the fortified castle.
The estate is located a few kilometers south of Castellina, in the heart of the Chianti Classico, and includes over six hundred hectares of land, more than a hundred of which are planted with vineyards located in the most beautiful areas of the denomination: Fonterutoli, Siepi, Badiola, Belvedere, and Caggio. Vineyards that have made the history of Chianti Classico, predominantly cultivated with sangiovese, a variety that has found its ideal land here, capable of expressing great aromas and elegance in the higher areas, structure and power in the lower ones. It is therefore no coincidence that Castello di Fonterutoli is considered one of the most significant estates in all of Chianti Classico, always projected towards the search for new qualitative frontiers, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. A work and a journey that have led the wines of the Castle to be renowned worldwide, and to become a reference point for all of Chianti Classico.
But it doesn't stop here: the propensity for new challenges and the constant pursuit of excellence have driven the Mazzei family to expand their horizons towards new frontiers in viticulture and winemaking, beyond Chianti Classico, also in the Tuscan Maremma, with Tenuta Belguardo, and in Sicily with Tenuta Zisola. These realities today produce wines with a clear territorial imprint, true ambassadors of their respective denominations.
