HiteJinro Releases Limited Edition Super Toscana Wine Ciepi

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Seon-ae] HiteJinro announced on the 28th that it will sell the signature wine "Siepi 2017 Vintage" produced by the winery of the historic Italian producer "Mazzei".

Castello di Fonterutoli, which produces Siepi, is one of the finest wineries in the Tuscany region of Italy, famous worldwide alongside Bordeaux in France. This winery is a symbolic winery that first used the name "Chianti wine," which represents Italy, and has been operated by the Mazzei family up to the 25th generation.

Castello di Fonterutoli has received perfect scores 34 times in Gambero Rosso, a wine guide published in Italy, and has been rated over 90 points 88 times by Wine Spectator, a leading American wine magazine. Robert Parker, a famous wine critic, also gave scores over 90 points 84 times.

Siepi is a wine made by blending only the finest grapes produced from selected areas of vineyards on land inherited by the Mazzei family in 1435, which is a symbolic place with the oldest records in Italy. Since producing its first vintage in 1992, Siepi has won the Tre Bicchieri, a perfect score from Gambero Rosso, 15 times, received over 90 points 18 times from Wine Spectator, and over 90 points 14 times from Robert Parker. It is a representative Super Tuscan wine that refers to Italy's premium wines. It is a high-quality wine with aging potential of over 20 years, exhibiting complex flavors such as rich plum, berry, wood, and dark chocolate aromas, offering a smooth and long finish. Gambero Rosso also selected Siepi as one of the "50 wines that brought innovation to Italian winemaking style."

The limited edition Siepi being sold this time is the 2017 vintage bottled in a special bottle engraved with the number 25 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its launch. It was produced in a limited quantity of 29,500 bottles, with only 300 bottles sold exclusively in Korea through HiteJinro.

The 25th anniversary limited edition Siepi can be pre-ordered through wine shops at Shinsegae Department Store Main Branch, Hyundai Department Store (Mokdong Branch, Pangyo Branch, Cheonho Branch), and Hyundai Premium Outlet Songdo Branch.

Yoo Tae-young, Executive Director of HiteJinro, said, "Siepi is a high-quality, high-class Super Tuscan wine produced by a historic family representing Italy," adding, "This special wine will provide a very special experience for wine lovers and collectors."
