Marchesi Mazzei
Siepi Castello di Fonterutoli Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Apparently I had this wine 2 years ago but can’t quite recall it. In general I don’t love a ton of super Tuscans but this is quite nice. Mix of Sangiovese and merlot - great fruit, the merlot really comes through, but still get the balance on the palate. Nice wine.

Dec 9th, 2022Intense Super Tuscan, tasting so very Italian. This 50/50 Merlot/Sangiovese blend needs steak, and is an excellent steak accompaniment.

Aug 23rd, 2022Nice wine but not quite all together at this point. Decanted for 4 hours. But too much sweet oak for my taste. With Marcella Hazan’s bolognese it’s a nice pairing. Deep fruited and the merlot certainly comes through. Good acid, tannins still very there. With even more air probably gets to 9.0. But overall still a bit skeptical of super Tuscans in general.

What a wonderful wine. Elegant, balanced, but not boring. Dark beginning with a bright finish. Oak, tobacco, dark berries and plums.

Another wonderful wine from Mazzei. This super Tuscan blend is very flavorful and smooth. Went well with our Christmas ham.
