Siepi Toscana IGT: the iconic cru of Mazzei 1435

Siepi Toscana IGT by Mazzei 1435 is a wine of great personality, born from a successful balance between Sangiovese and Merlot. An elegant and intense Tuscan red, it is an expression of a historic vineyard that combines depth, structure, and finesse in a recognizable profile that is highly appreciated by lovers of important wines.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the six hectares at the heart of the Siepi vineyards, in the Toscana IGT area, at about 260 meters above sea level in the municipality of Castellina in Chianti, in the Fonterutoli locality. The south-southwest exposure and the choice of a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Sangiovese define a modern style that is deeply connected to the territory. Manual harvesting and controlled temperature vinification help preserve aromatic precision and fruit richness. Maturation in small French oak barrels adds complexity and an elegant imprint, without overshadowing the character of the vineyard.

Tasting notes

Siepi Toscana IGT presents itself as a red of intense and deep color, with a wide and articulated olfactory profile. On the nose, sensations of ripe fruit, spicy notes, and nuances related to oak emerge, while on the palate it shows body, concentration, and a rich taste structure. The Sangiovese provides freshness and tension, while the Merlot adds softness and roundness, creating a balanced, full, and persistent wine. The finish is long, with a sensation of energy and definition that makes each sip very satisfying.

Recommended pairings

This wine pairs very effectively with structured and flavorful dishes, such as braised meats, important roasts, beef fillet, game, and preparations with rich sauces. Excellent also with pappardelle with wild boar ragù, porcini mushrooms, aged pecorino, and grilled meats. Siepi Toscana IGT is perfect for a formal dinner, a festive lunch, or a tasting dedicated to great Tuscan reds.

Serving temperature

To express itself at its best, Siepi Toscana IGT should be served between 16 and 18 °C. In the presence of a young or just opened bottle, a brief oxygenation in a decanter can be useful to promote the opening of the bouquet and soften the structure. Proper serving enhances the complexity of the wine and highlights the balance between fruit, freshness, and spicy notes.
