About Mazzei 2019 Siepi, Toscana IGT
The Siepi Vineyard in the Chianti Classico zone, has been owned by the Mazzei family since the 15th Century. Today it is managed with the utmost care and focus on growing superb Tuscan grapes. The unique location and special microclimate are ideal for the Merlot that was planted in the 1980's to complement Sangiovese. Together they produce a wine which is perfectly balanced between elegance, power and complexity.
This 2019 is 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot. The grapes macerate for about 2 weeks and then the wine ages in French oak barrels, 70% new, for 18 months.
Vinous scored this 99 points saying "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."
James Suckling scored this 98 points saying "This is a really racy and fine Siepi with currant, black-cherry and dark-chocolate character. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very long, intense tannins that are linear and fine-textured. Really builds on the palate. Super structure. Finesse with power."
