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:
"Showing the characteristic generosity of Siepi, with red liquorice, blood orange, baked raspberries, concentrated and opulent, vivid ruby colour, delicious. A vintage with reduced yield after issues with flowering. 75% new oak for ageing. The Mazzei family of Siepi is currently on its 25th generation of winemakers, based at Castello di Fonterutoli in Castellina in Chianti, farmed organically since 2006, with Siepi from a 6ha site. Tasted twice"
"Aromas of blackberries, black olives, lavender, violets and hints of oyster shells and iodine follow through to a medium body with fine, creamy tannins and a long and energetic finish. Linear and bright. Already showing nicely, but better in three or four years."
