The 2019 Mazzei Siepi is a knockout Super Tuscan, showcasing a seamless fusion of crème de cassis, lavender, spice, liquorice, and plum, with bright, bold, and punchy flavours that draw you in immediately. Fine textured tannins and layers of currant, black cherry, dark chocolate and a savoury herbal edge.
Siepi is owned by the famous and well-regarded Mazzei family who are absolutely on the road to stardom. Produced from 50/50 Sangiovese & Merlot (a true marriage of Italy and France) from gorgeous, sunny vineyards within Castellina in Chianti, just west of Radda on one of Tuscany's finest terroirs.
It's always been a great wine, but in recent years the quality has really stepped up a notch, partly due to the vines reaching their golden years of production, and partly due to that magic you need to produce wine at the highest level.
What the critics say:
"The 2019 Siepi continues a trend towards greater finesse and nuance in this wine. Crème de cassis, lavender, spice, licorice and plum meld together effortlessly in the glass. Dense and layered, with striking detail, the 2019 is so impressive. The flavors are bright, bold and punchy. An exceptionally beautiful and riveting wine, the 2019 is rich and concentrated, but not at all heavy. What a total knock-out."
"This has the same owner, location and team as Concerto - the Mazzei family who founded the estate in 1435 but this is a 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. Power and seduction straight away on the nose, this smells intensely of black cherries and blueberries. The palate is juicy and instantly mouthwatering giving an abundance of succulent red berries and a touch of herbal spice on the finish. This is excellent quality, I adore it. Smooth and silky with purity and energy. Really shines in the glass - drinking well now but will also age. The second vintage on the Place for Siepi since its debut last year."
