Est. delivery in 2027 Siepi is a 50/50 blend of Merlot and Sangiovese from the Fonterutoli estate in Castellina in Chianti, first produced in 1992 as a joint project between the Mazzei family and Marchese Piero Antinori. The two grapes come from a single vineyard of the same name, and the blend is the point: Merlot gives flesh and roundness, while Sangiovese brings its characteristic acidity and structural backbone. Siepi consistently sits in a sweet spot between power and elegance that few Super Tuscans manage. 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.
