Punteggi dei critici
96 Vinous
The 2017 Siepi is a total knock-out and one of the best recent vintages I can remember tasting. All the elements simply fall into place. Succulent dark cherry, spice, chocolate, leather and licorice build as the 2017 gains volume in the glass. Sangiovese and Merlot have rarely been so complementary. The 2017 is a gorgeous wine that offers plenty of the richness readers have become accustomed to over the years, but in a slightly less extracted style.

The polish and finesse to this gorgeous, rich wine is really impressive with a full-bodied, dense and layered palate and a soft, caressingly textured finish. The chocolate, berry and hazelnut character is all integrated beautifully. Give this time to acquire some refinement. Try after 2023 and onwards.

Black cherry, plum and tobacco flavors mark this rich, fleshy red, which is fruity up front, turning firmer and drier on the finish, where cherry, almond and tobacco notes echo. Fine overall balance and length, with a beam of fruit at the very end. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2024. 2,458 cases made, 250 cases imported.

The Mazzei 2017 Siepi is a bit big-boned and chunky, especially when tasted right after the fabulous 2016 vintage. This hot-vintage wine produces heavier aromas of tarry spice and tarmac. The fruit comes off as ripe but not jammy, with blackberry and cherry preserves. A pretty mineral note reminds us that Siepi is given time to integrate in cement vats after 18 months in a combination of French barrique and large oak casks. The wine seems to have matured quickly since the last time I tasted it, and I am shortening the suggested drinking window as a result. Production was just shy of 30,000 bottles.

Produttore
Marchesi Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli
Con una lunga storia dagli stretti legami con il mondo del vino, il nome della famiglia Mazzei può essere rintracciato nella zona di Carmignano all'inizio dell'XI secolo. Anche la loro tenuta toscana, Castello di Fonterutoli, ha un passato importante. Una volta la zona fungeva da punto di ristoro tra Firenze e Siena per tutto l'Impero Romano. Mantenendo la struttura originaria, il castello e la terra appartengono alla famiglia Mazzei dal 1435. Oggi, dopo quasi sei secoli, Marchesi Mazzei continua la ricerca dell'eccellenza, producendo alcuni dei vini italiani da collezione più ricercati. La proprietà vanta 650 ettari nel territorio del Chianti Classico, 117 dei quali sono impiantati a vite e comprendono i vigneti Fonterutoli, Siepi, Badiola, Belvedere e Caggio. Senza più usare il nome Castello di Fonterutoli come marchio, la famiglia attualmente identifica le sue produzioni di Chianti Classico e vini costieri con il nome Mazzei. La famiglia Mazzei cerca sempre di superare i propri limiti, espandendo gli orizzonti per raggiungere nuove altezze con approcci dinamici di viticoltura e vinificazione. Anno dopo anno, la tenuta crea vini di riferimento per la regione.
