From the legendary 2004 vintage, a year lauded for its perfect balance and classic structure, this Castello di Fonterutoli “Siepi” is a monumental Tuscan red just now entering its prime. A 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, this wine is a masterclass in power and poise. The nose is deep, dark, and incredibly complex, with a pure core of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and plum, intricately woven with notes of graphite, cedar, licorice, and fresh earth. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and impeccably structured, with formidable, fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity that promise decades of further evolution. The finish is exceptionally long and resonant. A true cellar icon.
