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:
"An opulent yet tensioned young red with blackberries, violets and black olive skin character. Full-bodied. But has so much energy and focus. Goes on for minutes. A blend of merlot and sangiovese. Best after 2028."
"Immediately arresting, in that gorgeous Siepi way where the aromatics hug you and draw you straight into the glass. Love the dark pepper spices, well balanced by tobacco, rose petals, raspberry and greengage plum, sweet spices and fresh orange-peel acidities. Beautiful vintage of this wine, totally moreish and great quality. 70% new oak in barrels of various sizes, 225l for the Merlot and larger oak casks for the Sangiovese. Plenty of room for ageing this. Mazzei family, 6ha estate."
