Siepi is crafted by the renowned Mazzei family, long admired in Tuscany and clearly on a stellar trajectory. This wine is a 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, a true meeting of Italy and France, sourced from sun-drenched vineyards in Castellina in Chianti, just west of Radda, on some of the region’s most prized terroir. It’s always been an impressive wine, but recent vintages have reached new heights. The vines are now in their prime, and there’s an unmistakable touch of winemaking magic that’s lifted Siepi firmly into the top tier of Tuscan reds.
