🏰 The 2015 Fonterutoli Siepi is a 【monument to the modern Super Tuscan style】, hailing from a vintage described as a "vintage of a lifetime". The year 2015 saw a rainy winter, mild spring, and hot summer, with crucial rainfall in late July and mid-August leading to ideal ripening conditions and a balanced wine with rich structure and complex aromas. This 50-50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot is powerful and voluptuous. It pours a viscous ruby-purple, offering beautiful aromas of violets, berries, currants, and dried flowers. On the palate, expect black cherry, plum, leather, spice, and mineral flavors, with a dense texture, refined tannins, and a long, saturated finish. It seamlessly combines the structure of Sangiovese with the richness of Merlot, showcasing flavors of black cherry, wild herbs, dusty earth, and tobacco, rounded by modern, polished tannins. 🍴 Siepi is an exceptional partner for red meat, hard cheeses, white meat, and cured meats. Its complexity and structure make it ideal for rich Italian cuisine, such as pasta with meat sauces or roasted game. 🥂 This wine is ready to drink now, but with plenty of structure to add more complex, savory charm over the coming decades, with a drinking window extending to 2035. It's a triumph for Siepi, perfect for a celebratory dinner or a significant addition to a cellar. Decanting for at least an hour is recommended to allow its full expression.
