Mazzei
About Mazzei
The Mazzei family have an extraordinary history in Chianti, having been present in the region for centuries and even giving rise to the use of the name ‘Chianti’ for the region. Their superb estate, Fonterutoli, in Chianti Classico, has been in the family for 24 generations, and Siepi is its flagship wine – a ‘Super Tuscan’ blend of Sangiovese and Merlot from a single vineyard. The wines coming out of Tuscany from the 2013 vintage are really something to get excited about and this is no different – it has been awarded the highest score ever from Parker’s Wine Advocate.

Wine Advocate (95)The Mazzei family is introducing quite a few new and ambitious changes to its portfolio this year. This wine is one of them. Previously known as Mix 36, it represents a complicated blend of 36 biotypes of Sangiovese, all planted in an experimental vineyard not too far from the estate's high-technology winery. With this vintage, the wine has been upgraded from IGT status to Gran Selezione, at the top of the Chianti Classico quality pyramid. The 2017 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vicoregio 36 offers great purity and focus. The bouquet is redolent of wild blueberry, spice, cola, grilled herb, blue flower and tilled earth. There is a pretty menthol-like note on the close. |

Wine Advocate (93)The 2011 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli is a standout wine and I prefer it to the 2012 vintage and the 2010 vintage (that I reviewed twice over the course of a year with divergent scores). Of these wines, this vintage offers the broadest sense of intensity and generosity. The wine is also distinguished by dark fruit and spice that stand tall with clear identities. The best fruit from the estate's various vineyard sites are selected for this wine. This careful selection process makes it possible to dedicate the best fruit to a wine like this despite varying vintage conditions. |

Decanter (97)This is delicious! Finds a good gear and runs with it through to a lengthy finish. Seductive cherry, graphite, sweet spice and red forest fruit aromas flow onto a beautifully harmonious and complex palate, conveying a tender texture of dark cherry and plummy fruit that’s carried by perfectly pitched tannins. The flavours linger long in the mouth. It will make many red wine devotees swoon. |

Vinous (92)The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello Fonterutoli is silky, floral and light on its feet. Crushed flowers, mint, spice, blood orange and sweet red cherry are all very nicely lifted in the glass. This mid-weight Gran Selezione is more finesse than power. Its balance is simply impeccable right out of the gate. |

Vinous (92)The 2007 Chianti Classico Castello di Fonterutoli blossoms on the palate with dark red cherries, flowers, spices and subtle French oak. Darker smoke, tar and licorice nuances develop in the glass, adding notable richness. A juicy, round finish caps off this magnificent wine from Fonterutoli. In fact, this is one of the most refined vintages of the Castello I can remember tasting. As with so many Tuscan reds in 2007, the wine is delicious today, but will acquire further complexity if cellared. |

Decanter (97)This is a stunning wine with a complex cherry, prune, herbal, leather and balsamic bouquet. Excels on the concentrated and succulent palate, with lovely mouthfeel and lots of spicy, smooth, fleshy tannins, superfine acidity and great length. A classic gourmand style per eccellenza perhaps but remarkable from any angle. (Platinum Medal) |
