Mazzei Siepi IGT Toscana 2019 (JS 98) (Ex-OWC 6)

James Suckling 98 points.

"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."


Castello di Fonterutoli owned by Mazzei family since 1435, has always been a model farm, still managed today with the same kind of respect.

Siepi results of the foresight in the early 1980s to plant Merlot as the ideal grape to complement Sangiovese and to produce a wine which is perfectly balanced between elegance, power and complexity.

The 2019 harvest recalls the great vintages of the 1980s: a "classic" vintage, characterized by an exceptional combined action between man and nature.

A brilliant vintage of this wine. One of the best.
