Live from the Vines: The Mazzei Family – Siepi
Hosted by Filippo Mazzei, Francesco Mazzei, Giovanni Mazzei & Gionata Pulignani
It has been defined as one of the wines that changed Italy’s wine style, and no one would deny that it should find an honoured place in the cellar of those who appreciate terroir wines. The dream of Lapo Mazzei, Siepi was established in 1992 as a distillation into wine of the breath-taking beauty of this 6-hectares vineyard in Castellina in Chianti and of its distinctive characteristics, beginning with its climate and soils. Add to that a painstakingly-respectful viticulture aimed at protecting the local microbiome and the result is the precious cuvée of Sangiovese and Merlot Siepi by Castello di Fonterutoli, now guided by Lapo Mazzei’s sons Filippo and Francesco and his grandson Giovanni.
