Siepi is named for the specific vineyard it comes from (6 hectares within the Fonterutoli estate, split between the Sangiovese plots Vallone and Poggione, together 3.1 hectares, and the Merlot parcel Il Piano, 2.9 hectares) rather than a broader appellation blend — a single-vineyard designation that is unusual for a Super Tuscan and signals the estate is treating this parcel like a Burgundian cru.
Grilled Wagyu short rib
The wine's ripe Merlot fruit and firm tannin need char and fat to soften against; heavy chili heat would clash with the oak and mute the Sangiovese's acidity, so keep spice light-to-none.
Massaman beef curry (mild) (แกงมัสมั่นเนื้อ)
Massaman's warm spices (cinnamon, cardamom, peanut) and braised beef richness mirror the wine's dark-fruit depth, but only in its milder preparations — high chili spice would fight the tannin.
Aged Parmigiano-Reggiano
A classic regional pairing: the cheese's umami and salt cut through the wine's tannin and echo its Tuscan origin.

Sangiovese-Merlot Super Tuscan blend with dark fruit, spice, and elegant structure—food-friendly Tuscan classic.
Castello di Fonterutoli's Siepi represents a refined interpretation of Tuscan winemaking, blending 50% Sangiovese with 50% Merlot to create a harmonious Super Tuscan. The wine opens with ripe dark cherry and plum, supported by blackcurrant depth and subtle herbaceous notes.
Mid-palate spice and cedar emerge, while leather and tobacco undertones develop with air, revealing the wine's tertiary complexity. Medium-full body and balanced tannin structure make this a versatile food companion, equally at home with grilled meats, braised dishes, or aged cheeses.
